Abstract

In our proposed paper we present a technique for characterising the piezo–driven sensor head of a scanning probe microscope (SPM) using a laser vibrometer. The experimental setup, the signal processing and some experimental results are described. Furthermore a mechanical model for the sensor head is introduced and verified by the experimental results. Also guidance for an online or offline correction of the sensors position is presented.
