Abstract:
In one general embodiment, an apparatus for moving a sample a precise distance in an imaging device includes a base, and a movable portion positioned above the base and configured to move relative to the base. An extent of motion of the movable portion is constrained by stops. The extent of motion is within 10 nm of a predefined distance of greater than 1 mm. Additional apparatuses and methods are also presented.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for measuring a distance between features of a sample, the method comprising:\n positioning an apparatus for moving a sample a precise distance on a stage of an imaging device, wherein the apparatus includes a base and a movable portion positioned above the base, the movable portion being configured to move along the base, an extent of motion of the movable portion being constrained by stops, wherein the extent of motion is within 10 nm of a predefined distance of greater than 1 mm; positioning the sample on the movable portion of the apparatus; generating a first image of a first feature of the sample using the imaging device when the movable portion is abutting a first of the stops; moving the movable portion to a second of the stops; generating a second image of a second feature of the sample using the imaging device; and computing a distance between the first feature and the second feature based on the images.
