With the Beetle Design, the tip moves with the sample, virtually eliminating effects of thermal drift.
As shown to the right, the 1 dimensional problem of sample movements into the tip gap are virtually eliminated. Additionally, 3-D problems of mechanical expansion and contraction are lessened by the fact that the tip is precisely centered on the sample holder.
The Johnny Walker Design: Thermal Stability 2
Symmetric geometry provides first order thermal drift compensation in all three axes, eliminating the need for complex compensation software.
