The stage will hit the microscope on the way up and 

damage one or both of them. Use Z-stage control to lift tip away from sample a small distance so 
the tip is no longer touching the sample.   

2) Open the acoustic enclosure 

3) Enable Focus Follow and then hit ‘Lift Z’ button in Z-stage control. Both the microscope and 
Z-stage will raise.

5) Turn off laser switch, unplug head, and remove head. 

5a) If the tip you used was good, leave it on the AFM. Otherwise, remove head and place tip in 
the “Bad Probes” box
