Abstract

See full text

A method of probe alignment is described in which an interrogating light beam is aligned with the probe of a scanning probe microscope. The methods described ensure that the light beam is positioned as closely as possible to a point directly above the probe tip. This improves image quality by removing variations that may arise if cantilever deflection is allowed to vary during the course of a scan and/or if scanning at high scanning speeds that may excite transient motion of the probe.
