====== SPM moved to Ultra-Low Noise Laboratory ====== {| class="TableSimpleWide" |- | //**June 15, 2009** — By Hannes C.

The SPM is mounted in a custom-designed, suspended vibration isolation system in order to further reduce the impact of environmental influences. {{ :public:news:blog:2006-2009:2009-06-15_low-noise-lab.jpg?nolink |}} The already impressive performance of the NTEGRA is further improved under these conditions. The noise level of the instrument is now significantly below 1 Å in all three dimensions.
