The range for piezo scans is in theory about 80
m. The software
restricts piezo scans to a 60
m field, and it turns out that
anything over 50
m gives distorted edges of the image. This is
probably due to the preload on the piezos being too large.
Before using the piezos, make sure the power supply to the piezos is turned on.
It has to be connected to the piezo interlock. Bad pressure will
turn the power supply off and ensure that the piezos don't
get damaged by sparking at intermediate pressures.
Note: To reduce vibrations and this improve the image quality, always
choose YPZT as the fast scan axis.
