HousingΒΆ

The NanoFrazor housing is divided into four compartments and comprises of nine doors which can be individually locked (see also Figure 35 and Figure 36).

  • The working compartment is located above the granite table with the mechanical components of the NanoFrazor Explore and where the patterning process is carried out. This compartment can be independently accessed by the three transparent doors.
  • The storage compartment (directly below the granite plate) holds the vibration isolation and the preamplifier box, and can be further used for storage purposes (e.g. samples or the thermal cantilevers).
  • The electronics compartment contains a 19-inch rack with the electronics controllers (main controller, positioning controller, environment controller and high speed piezo controller). Above the racks, there are shelves for storing any additional equipment (e.g. PC). This compartment can be accessed by two doors.
  • The gas compartment houses the supply and control system for the environment chamber and the vibration isolation. It can be accessed by the gas compartment door.
