Installing the easyScan 2 AFM
The following sections describe the installation of the easyScan 2 AFM.
Important!
To make high quality measurements, the following precautions must be
taken to keep equipment clean:
• Never touch the cantilever tips, the cantilevers (figure Contents of the
AFM Tool set (p.14), 10, 11), or the open part of the Scan head (figure
Cantilever deflection detection system (p.29)).
• Ensure that the surface to be measured is free of dust and possible resi-
dues.
• Always secure the Scan head by putting it in the Scan head case during
transport and storage (figure Scan head storage).
Installing the Hardware
Important!
- Ascertain that the mains connection is protected against excess voltage
surges.
- Place the instrument on a stable support in a location that has a low level
of building vibrations, acoustic noise, electrical fields and air currents.
