  • Page 3 UHV-Pre-Amplifier for Tuning Fork Theory For high resolution AFM measurements a sensor with high mechanical stiffness (high spring constant) is of geat interest. A quartz tuning fork with integrated tip not only offers this feature but simplifies things as simple electronics can then be used to detect the oscillation.
  • Page 4 On one hand as a self-oscillator with subsequent frequency measurements and on the other hand as a PLL tracking oscillator. Both methods can be ideally implemented using the easyPLL FM Sensor Controller and the easyPLL Digital FM Detector. Oscillator Detector...
  • Page 5 Wiring of the pre-amplifier This section describes version 3.01 of the UHV preamplifier. The pre-amplifier should be mounted in the UHV chamber as close to the quartz tuning fork as possible. Use of 2 × 100 W resistors for Vs buffering and 10 kW resistor for tip bias buffering recommended (should be placed outside the vacuum cham- ber).
