The Dimension Icon can be equipped with an optional probe holder, the ScanAsyst/Contact EC Fluid Probe holder, shown in Figure 1, that allows for ScanAsyst, Contact and Peak Force Tapping modes in fluid and incorporates a Kalrez® boot designed to work with the Dimension General Purpose Electrochemistry Cell. This probe holder does not incorporate a tapping piezo. A spring-loaded platinum-iridium (80/20) clip, shown in Figure 2, secures the probe. This clip is sealed by two Kalrez O-rings while the center glass window is sealed by one Kalrez O-ring. A Teflon FEP snorkel allows for venting from the Dimension General Purpose Electrochemistry Cell that may occur when engaging. These snorkels are pre-shrunk to fit the probe holder at the factory.
