Tighten the clamp:
• Once the cantilever holder is fully
inserted, use the ball head wrench to
gently tighten the clamp.
12.
Remove the old cantilever:
• Position the changing station as shown,
on a flat hard surface.
• Take the tweezers in your dominant
hand.
• Press down on the station, as shown,
with your other hand. This depresses a
button on the bottom of the station
which drives a pin up under the
cantilever retaining clip.
• Remove the cantilever and release
pressure on the station.
• Inspect the cantilever area for tiny
silicon grit and blow clean with
compressed air if necessary.
13.
Select new cantilever:
• Select a new cantilever and pick it up
with tweezers.
• Close the box! Ruining $1k of levers by
putting your hand on an open box is not
unheard of.
Note If your lab saves some old cantilevers,
consider practicing with a “dummy”
cantilever.
Tip Some find it useful to first lay the chip
down on a non-sticky surface and re-grip it
before continuing.
