Preparing for Imaging 4

Agilent 5500 SPM User’s Guide 83

Mounting the Sample

The Agilent 5500 SPM accepts a wide variety of sample plates,

including specialized plates for imaging in liquid, in controlled

temperature, etc. To use a sample plate:

1 Mount the sample to the sample plate. In general, samples should be

held in place securely enough to prevent drift or creep during

measurement, but not so firmly as to induce stress in the sample.

Several mounting methods are available. A common approach is to

mount the sample on a magnetically attractive backing which can

then be held by the magnet on the standard sample plate. Large, flat

samples can be held down using the clips from the liquid cell plate.

Double-back tape can also be used, though the tape tends to deform

easily and can lead to creep during imaging.

2 Place the sample plate’s front alignment tab over the front alignment

pin, as in image A of Figure 58.

CAUTION

Verify that there is enough space below the scanner and probe that they

will not contact the sample plate once it is mounted. Contact with the

plate will damage the probe and sample and could also damage the

scanner.

It is recommended that you move the scanner up 100 microns or more

whenever changing a probe or plate to avoid damage.
