<p>A scanning probe microscope uses two different scanners (also called 'scanning stages') that are completely detached each from the other, and are physically separated by a stationary frame. One scanner (called 'x-y scanner') scans a sample in a plane (also called 'x-y plane'), while the other scanner (called 'z scanner') scans a probe tip (which is supported at a free end of a cantilever) in a direction (also called 'z direction') perpendicular to the plane. Detachment of the two scanners from one another eliminates crosstalk.</p> |
