Specifications

Scan Head Type: Large Scan High Resolution
Maximum Scan Range* 110 µm 10 µm
Maximum Z-range* 22 µm 1.8 µm
Drive Resolution-XY** 1.7 nm 0.15 nm
Drive Resolution-Z** 0.34 nm 0.027 nm
XY-linearity Mean Error < 0.6 % < 0.6 %
Z-noise Level (RMS) in Dynamic Mode 0.3 nm 0.04 nm

* Manufacturing tolerances for scan heads: ±10% for large scan and ±15% for high resolution
** Resolution is calculated by dividing the maximum scan range by 16 bits
