Setting Up the Agilent 5500 SPM 3
Agilent 5500 SPM User’s Guide 54
• MAC III Controller: 254 mm W x 127 mm H x 254 mm D
(10 in W x 5 in H x 10 in D)
• Vibration Isolation Chamber: 495 mm W × 940 mm H × 483 mm D
(19.5 in W x 37 in H x 19 in D)
The most common system configuration includes the 5500 SPM within
a vibration isolation chamber, with the controls on a separate table from
the rest of the components, as shown in Figure 29 (top and front views).
Keeping the chamber and microscope on a separate table helps to
minimize acoustic coupling from the control station. The isolation
chamber and microscope together weight approximately 250 pounds;
therefore, a solid table that can easily accommodate 300 pounds is
required.
