Chapter 3. Preparing for Operation
2. Place the support on a clean smooth surface with its protrusion up.
3. Apply a small amount of glue on the support protrusion. Use epoxy resin or
cyanocrylate glue for sticking.
4. Take the probe from the container with the tweezers. Make sure that the working side
of the chip with cantilevers is directed to you during the installation. Do not turn the
chip over because probes in the container are packed with their tips pointing upwards.
5. Carefully place the probe on the support protrusion (covered with glue) so that the
chip projects outside the protrusion to distance of 0.5 mm (Fig. 3-7). Wait for
∼10 minutes until the glue contact gets firm.

6. Place the holder with the probe in the middle of the holder magnetic fastener
(Fig. 3-9, Fig. 3-10). Using tweezers align the support so that the cantilever is strictly
perpendicular to the edge of the holder.
