Agilent Nano Indenter G200 User's Guide
The G200 microscope body is fully contained inside the
Assembly. The only exposed region is at the base of the microscope, in
the working area of the gantry. The objective lens is changed through
this portal.
There should be no need for the user to access the video camera,
microscope alignment screws, or optic focus motor, all of which are
housed inside the gantry. For more information, see
and Objectives. Also see the procedure for focusing on the sample
surface in the "Position Sample Under the Microscope"
The basic function of the G200 motion system is for positioning the
specimens under the microscope and indenter tip.
Control of the motion system is accomplished using NanoSuite software
routines. The motion system is most commonly used in conjunction
with the handsets (see Chapter
The software drives the motion system and positions the specimen.
Shown in Figure 3- 15, the positioning tables are X/Y directional piezo
stages. The motors, gearboxes, and encoder that interface with the table
are mounted on the gantry. These components should only be accessed
by Agilent support technicians.
