Introduction
To complete this guide, you will need a clean microfiber cloth, IPA, PGMEA a nitrogen air gun, and either a 25x or 63x objective from the Nanoscribe. Please make sure that NOTHING touches the objective lens other than IPA or PGMEA.
-
-
Make sure that the microscope carousel has reached its lower Z-limit.
-
Select the objective position on the microscope dock that corresponds to the objective you want to remove.
-
Remove the objective from the nosepiece and replace it with the small black cap.
-
Screw the objective into the black objective cap, then remove the felt ring (25x and 63x) or silicon resin pool (10x).
-
See the objective insertion/removal guide for more information.
-
-
-
Wipe a microfiber cloth around the edges of the objective, making sure neither the cloth nor your fingers touch the objective's lens.
-
-
-
Fold the microfiber cloth in half.
-
Wrap the folded cloth around the objective.
-
Pinch the ends of the cloth together and gently twist to pull the cloth tight.
-
-
-
Use the nitrogen gun to blow the resist/oil off of the lens.
-
Wipe away any residue that was dislodged.
-
Ensure the objective is properly wrapped before continuing.
-
-
-
Hold the objective at a 45° angle and drop IPA onto the lens.
-
Blow dry the lens with nitrogen gas.
-
Wipe the edges of the objective, if necessary.
-
-
-
Hold the objective so that light is reflected off the lens and check for any streaking or residual resist.
-
If the lens is clear, you're done!
-
If there are streaks or resist on the lens, continue to step 7.
-
-
-
Re-wrap the objective and repeat steps 5-6.
-
If the resist still won't come off, add a small drop of PGMEA to the lens before rinsing with IPA in step 5.
