Fluid Imaging

Operating Principles

158 Dimension 3100 Manual Rev. D

Note: When pushing down on the holder, the steel wire in the docking station will

press on the leaf spring to raise the gold-plated wire that will hold the probe in

the pocket.

3. With the gold wire raised, use tweezers to slide a probe under the wire and into the pocket.

4. Check that the cantilever substrate is set squarely against one side of the pocket and flush

against the back.

5. Gently lift the tip holder off the docking station.

Note: When removing the tip holder from the docking station, the leaf spring should

pull the gold wire tight against the cantilever substrate.

6. Check that the probe is held firmly by the wire.

10.5.4 Install the Fluid Tip Holder

1. Check that there is sufficient clearance between the bottom of the SPM head and the sample.

Note: The cantilever tip position extends roughly 1 mm further towards the sample

with the ﬂuid cantilever holder over the standard air cantilever holder.

2. If the height of the SPM head needs adjustment, use one of the following methods: Focus

Surface, Motor > Step Motor, or Withdraw.

3. Gently unplug any cantilever holders attached to the base of the scanner.

Note: If necessary, lift the SPM head out of the dovetail to allow for easier access to

the base of the scanner.

4. Pull the cantilever holder straight off to prevent bending any of the pins on the cantilever

holder or scanner cap.

5. Fit the fluid cantilever holder onto the four pins of the scanner cap.

Note: The four sockets on the cantilever holder will only align with the pins on the

scanner cap when the cantilever tip points to the left of the microscope.

6. Set the head back into the dovetail and lock into place by releasing the knurled head clamp

screw, located at the upper-right of the Z-stage, until the thread is just loosened.

CAUTION: Avoid scratching the tip holder's glass surface with the tweezers or

the cantilever substrate, especially in the area under the cantilever

itself.
