Fluid Operation

General Fluid Operation

Rev. B MultiMode SPM Instruction Manual 133

2. To avoid sample damage, reduce the Deflection Setpoint as low as possible:

a. Stop when the tip pulls off the surface and the Z Center Position on the display

monitor jumps to Limit (-220V).

3. Increase the setpoint until the tip begins to touch the surface again and an image appears.

• As an alternative, use the Force Calibration command to select the setpoint and

estimate the contact force (see Chapter 11).

• Because the tip typically adheres to the sample surface much less in ﬂuid, it is possible

to image at much smaller contact forces in liquid than in air.

• The optimal integral and proportional gains and scan rate may be different from air

operation, because the dynamics of the cantilever change in ﬂuid.

4. Set the two gains as high as possible (starting with the integral gain) without causing

oscillation distortion to appear in your image.

5. Choose a scan rate that is sufficiently slow to image without degrading your data.

8.2.10 Clean and Dry Parts When Done

1. When sample imaging is complete, drain the fluid cell and carefully remove it from the head.

Avoid spilling fluid.

2. Rinse and dry the fluid cell, and O-ring if applicable, to prevent the buildup of salts or other

contaminants on these parts.

CAUTION: When cleaning the fluid cell, use care to avoid scratching the glass

surfaces in the center of the fluid cell.
