I. Introduction:
The automated Wyko NT3300 is a system intended for measuring a wide variety of surfaces
and samples, from optical-quality glass to microactuators. The Wyko is a relatively safe and
simple machine that can provide measurements for all types of samples in great detail. In
this procedure you will find all the instructions necessary to successfully acquire and
interpret your measured data.
System
The automated Wyko NT3300 system consists of two parts, an operator control station and a
motorized sample station (figure on the front cover). The sample station houses the optical
lenses, translation motors, and computer. The operator control tray shown in Fig. 1 has a
joystick for controlling the x-y motorized stage and the motorized microscope head tilt. A
centrally located control knob is used for the z-axis motorized focusing of the microscope
head.
