It is equipped with a camera for locating the region of interest, manual sample manipulation &amp; tilt correction, and profile analysis software. It can be used to get a rough idea of the topography of features by scanning a single line across the surface. Features as small as 100 nm in height can be determined with some approximation. <br /> <br /> ===== Applications =====<br /> * Surface Profiling <br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> ===== SOPs =====<br /> * [https://caltech.box.com/s/hdic8scc882tkrcjqsbaruqph9jgo75t KNI SOP]<br /> * [https://caltech.box.com/s/j6br8jpkr7ov0k9dwx7wzyzt9f5fj3rt Dektak Operations Manual]<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Related Instrumentation in the KNI ==<br /> ===== Scanning Probe Microscopes =====<br /> * [[Dimension Icon: Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) | Dimension Icon: Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)]]<br /> * [[Dektak 3ST: Profilometer | Dektak 3ST: Profilometer]]</div>
