“…Finally, the internal sensor of motor controller was replaced by laser interferometer to realize the closed-loop control to suppress vertical vibration, and vibration data were applied to a piezo motor for effectively replacing its internal sensors to suppress system vibrations.ResultsThe optimal performance achieved by the closed-loop control scheme shows that the root mean square (RMS) value of the vibration is reduced to 4.833 nm, which is around one third of the value before.ConclusionsThe successful implementation of this closed-loop control scheme has furnished robust technical foundations for further enhancements in the imaging resolution of the STXM system.…”
