3. Never touch the Heater sample stage with your tweezers.
l
The Heater sample stage is extremely fragile. In order
to achieve high temperatures while still maintaining
low drift performance, the Heater Sample Stage is
constructed with fragile ceramics.
l
When loading/unloading the samples, take care to
never push directly on the sample stage with your
tweezers.
l
When adjusting the lateral position of the sample,
use minimal force. Pushing on the sample with too
much force may crack the heater.
l
Although it is not required, lowering the cantilever
holder stage fully (with the cantilever holder
removed!), will make it easier to exchange samples
without touching the heater stage.
Note:
Pay attention! If you are
careless when loading or unload-
ing the Heater sample stage you
will break it.
4. Hold the cantilever holder only by its handles.
l
Hold the cantilever holder only by its two plastic handles (upper image).
l
In particular, avoid contacting the wires running to the tapping piezo (lower image).
l
Be careful not to scrape the piezo wires when tightening the right side cantilever holder lock-
ing screw.
Note:
Pay attention! The piezo wiring is very fragile. Be careful not to touch it.
