Figure 17.1a Scanner Crystal Voltage and Photodiode Voltage
The Microscope > Calibrate > Scanner function displays the Scanner Calibration dialog box,
allowing users to enter the sensitivity of their scanner’s X-Y axes. Sensitivity is measured in terms
of lateral displacement for a given voltage (nm/volt). In addition, the NanoScope software employs
various derating and coupling parameters to model scanners’ nonlinear characteristics. By precisely
determining points along the scanner’s sensitivity curve, then applying a rigorous mathematical
model, full-range measuring capabilities can be achieved with better than 1 percent accuracy.
Consider the sensitivity curve represented in Figure 17.1b.
