4. Performing Measurements

Initial state
Before measurements, components of the instrument should be prepared as follows:
1. Control program is running;
2. Instrument is on;
3. Probe is installed;
4. Sample is installed;
5. Measuring head is installed;
6. Sample is approached to the probe to distance of 0.5 mm;
7. Scan area is selected;
8. Detection channel is preliminarily adjusted;
9. Optical cantilever deflection detection system is adjusted;
10. Turret with exchangeable mirrors (in the radiation delivery and recording system) is
in position M2, that is, no reflection in the turret is applied (see manual NTEGRA
Spectra Probe
Spectrometer));
11. Proper set of calibration parameters (corresponding to the scanner with the hollow
sample holder) is activated (see manual NTEGRA Probe NanoLaboratory. Performing
measurements, Appendix).
Basic operations
1. Approaching the Sample and Fine Adjusting the Detection Channel (sect. 4.1 on
p. 39).
2. Adjusting the Delivery Channel (sect. 4.2 on p. 40).
3. Scanning (sect. 4.3 on p. 47).
4. Saving Data (sect. 4.4 on p. 50).
5. Finishing the Work (sect. 4.5 on p. 51).
These operations will be explained in details below.
