Abstract

Near-field microscopy applications sometimes require scanning the sample over the millimetre range. This paper describes a home-made displacement system that can replace the limited range XY scanner of a classical near-field microscope. The system lays on a coarse/fine displacements configuration to attain the millimetre. Nanometre scale repeatability and resolution are met thanks to a control loop based on phase shifting techniques. The system was tested under an Atomic Force Microscope. The setup of the experiments and the results obtained are herein presented.
