 The scanning head of our STM uses 3 piezo actuators oriented along the 3 cartesian axes.  We currently do not have data on their actuation range. The scanning head of our STM uses 3 piezo actuators oriented along the 3 cartesian axes.  We currently do not have data on their actuation range.

 The STM mount consists of two aluminum plates which seat against each other precisely using a [[http://www.g2-engineering.com/technology-kinematics|kinematic mount]] made from 3 micrometer screws. The STM mount consists of two aluminum plates which seat against each other precisely using a [[http://www.g2-engineering.com/technology-kinematics|kinematic mount]] made from 3 micrometer screws.
  
-The tip/probe is mounted slightly in front of two of the screws with the last one sitting very far back.  This makes a fulcrum with the back screw having even more fine adjust (factor 20).+{{:projects:stm:stm-kinematic-mount.png?600|}}

 Thread pitch of micrometer screws (according to lab book 16.3.2012):  Thread pitch of micrometer screws (according to lab book 16.3.2012): 
-  * Front 0.25mm per revolution +  * Front (screws 1 and 2) 0.25mm per revolution 
-  * Back is hence 0.0125mm per revolution or 12.5µm +  * Back (screw 3) is hence 0.0125mm per revolution or 12.5µm
