AFM measurement problems
Probe Status light blinks red
This light will blink red when an insufficient amount of light reaches the
cantilever deflection detector. This can be either be due to the DropStop
still being closed or to a misaligned cantilever chip.
- Check that the cantilever is lying perfectly in the alignment chip.
- Remove the cantilever as described in section Installing the cantilever
(p.37). Blow away dust from the alignment chip and the cantilever’s back
side using dry, oil free air. Mount the cantilever again.
For further information, open the Scan Head Diagnosis dialog via the
menu ‘Options/Check Scan Head...’.
