Products Description

Cantilever positioner is an innovative tool designed to simplify the manipulation and positioning of cantilevers in scanning probe microscopy. This device features a compact design that allows users to manipulate cantilevers with high precision and accuracy. The base plate provides a stable foundation for the device, while the cantilever arm extends from the base plate and supports the precision stage. The precision stage is designed to move in a linear or rotational motion, allowing for precise positioning of samples or other objects.

The positioner is used to move and position objects in various scientific and industrial applications. It consists of a rigid arm or cantilever that can be adjusted in multiple directions to achieve precise positioning of the object. It comprises a base, a vertical post, and a horizontal arm or cantilever. The base is usually made of a heavy material to provide stability, and the vertical post is attached to it. The cantilever is mounted on the vertical post and can be moved in various directions using precision screws or micrometer heads.

Products Usage Instruction

To use the Cantilever Positioner, firstly, it should ensure that it is compatible with your scanning probe microscope. Next, place the cantilever on the tip of the positioner and gently tighten the clamp. Use the micrometer knobs to adjust the position of the cantilever. The product allows for precise and accurate positioning of the cantilever. Once the cantilever is in the desired position, gently release the clamp and remove the product. The cantilever is now ready for imaging or manipulation.
