acoustic noise should be less than 75 dBc (Criterion C). Use of the
vibration isolation chamber will help considerably in meeting this goal.

Temperature and Humidity Variation
Changes in temperature and humidity will affect both resolution and
repeatability of imaging. Temperature variation should be limited to ±2
degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity variation should not exceed ±20 % RH.
Locating the instrument away from vents and air handlers will help meet
this goal.
