The optics system assists you in locating the cantilever and tip relative to the sample. The NanoScope software uses this information to engage the tip on the sample surface at the desired location. The system automatically focuses on most samples by adjusting the Dimension Icon scanner height; however, the trackball is available for manual focus control.
The objective mounts on a translational tilt stage. The objective can be translated along the optical axis with a stepper motor/lead screw (focus motor) to adjust the focal point approximately 1.5 mm above the cantilever to approximately 3.5 mm below. The range of focus below the cantilever allows you to focus on the sample while leaving up to 3.5 mm clearance between the tip and sample.
