INSTALLING YOUR SYSTEM
STEP 3:
The sample holder has a slight offset, place the sample holder so the offset matches the XY stage. The sample holder is lightly
held in place by two magnets, however it is better to use the four
n
ylon M3 screws provided to hold the sample more securely.
To level the sample loosen the
four
screws and use the levelling grub screws to tip and tilt the sample, then retighten M3
screws. Note: Only nylon screws should be used (other screws risk damaging the stage thread).
STEP 4:
Incubators are available from Okolabs and Tok
a
ihit that can be mounted within the stage. Where an incubator is used please
ensure that the
Sample holder/incubator
(0.5
k
g) tuning is selected on the controller
(this is the default setting)
.
The stage
dimensions are available from the installation diagram found on the USB stick included or downloaded from the website
www.nanopositioning.com or www.prior.com.
It is important that the controller tuning is selected for the sample load to protect the stage. If on power-on the stage resonates/
vibrates, quickly power-down the system. Check the mounting of the stage and tuning
(see below). If the stage continues to
vibrate, please contact Prior for assi
s
tance.
