4.2 Uncrating the System
4.2.1 Uncrate the Dimension 3100 SPM System
1. Using scissors, cut and remove the plastic shipping band encircling the Dimension 3100
shipping crate.
2. Lift the cardboard shipping box off of the Dimension 3100 microscope.
3. Unscrew the 2 shipping bolts holding the shipping brackets in place at either side of the
Dimension 3100 microscope. Remove the shipping brackets and store with the Dimension
3100 shipping box in the event that the microscope must be shipped for maintenance or
repair.
4. Unpack all system components. Each of the items below are shipped in separate boxes:
• Dimension 3100 Microscope
• NanoScope Controller (if applicable)
• Dimension 3100 Controller
• Computer and Keyboard
• Dimension Microscope Head
• Computer and Microscope Accessories (Dimension accessories box)
• Chuck Base Hardware (packed with Dimension 3100 microscope)
5. Save and store the shipping box for the Dimension microscope head.
Note: If repair or calibration is necessary, the shipping box is crucial for safe return of
the head to the factory. It is also convenient to use for long-term storage.
CAUTION: Do not remove the plastic wrap from the microscope’s X-Y stage. Do
not remove the microscope head from its shipping box yet. The SPM
microscope head must remain in the box until ready for use.
