Next: Imaging the Surface
Up: Approaching the Tip
Previous: coarse approach using the
Push the Approach button in the approach panel. The sample now approaches the tip continuously in small
steps until a tunneling current is detected by the feedback loop. This step will take some time. It depends on how
well the pre-adjustment using the coarse approach was performed. Do not be impatient! If the approach is successful,
a dialogbox Approach done appears and the LED turns green.
