A FIRST MEASUREMENT

Reminder: Measurements on the micrometer/nanometer scale are very sen-

sitive. Direct light, fast movements causing air flow and temperature varia-

tions near the Scan head can influence and disturb the measurement.

When the measurement contains large disturbances, or no two scan lines

are similar, stop measuring and reduce or eliminate the disturbances:

- Click and follow the instructions of the chapter Problems and Solu-

tions (p.66).

Selecting a measurement area

You have prepared your measurement so that the scan line in the centre of

the Line graph reproduces stably. After the measurement has been com-

pleted, the color map graph should look similar to the one shown below.

Now zoom into an interesting part of the measurement:

- Activate the color map graph by clicking on it.

- Click in the imaging toolbar. The mouse pointer becomes pen-

shaped when moving over the color map, and the Tool Results panel is

displayed.

Select an interesting region by drawing a square with the mouse pointer:
