Head-Slide Mechanism — High Stability

Allows Sliding the Entire Optical Lever System
as a Single Unit, While Maintaining High Rigidity.
• The laser remains stable and irradiates the cantilever even while
replacing samples.
• Design is resistant to vibration, noise, wind, and other external
disturbances, so a specialized enclosure is not necessary.
• The main unit includes a built-in vibration isolator.
