Scanning with MIRO

Scanning takes place with any tab active except the Registration Tab. Using the Cursor mode functions with the Registration Tab open will modify the registration image.

 
  1. Click the Cursor icon to draw the area to be scanned within the accessible scanner range (represented on the Canvas by a red and white dashed square). This works exactly like the zoom function of the NanoScope 8.15 software.

A white dashed line encloses the selected scanning area:

  1. Click the Offset/Resize the Scan icon to change the scan area. The Realtime AFM image will appear in the dashed white square.

If the tip is not scanning at this location, the tip offset is probably incorrect. Adjust the offset of the optical image and save the resulting registration values (see The Registration Tab).

 
  1. Adjust the AFM scan parameters to obtain good tracking; the scan size can be modified as well. Changes in scan size will be shown in the canvas image.
  1. When the scan parameters have been optimized, select MIRO and then click the Capture AFM Image icon. A message tells you that the AFM scan capture is in progress.

    2. The AFM image will be integrated into the optical image at the end of the current scan:
