摘要: To improve the performance of atomic force microscopes regarding speed and noise sensitivity, it is important to consider mechanical rigidity actuator (scanner), overall structure. Using finite element analysis in design process, was possible increase first resonance frequency from 950 Hz for whole system 23.4 kHz system. This constitutes a factor similar to25 625 stiffness and, hence, immunity. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
