ABSTRACT:
A system for repositioning a microfabricated cantilever includes a microfabricated cantilever, a first device operable to detect a position of the microfabricated cantilever, and a second device. The first device is operable to determine an offset in the position of the microfabricated cantilever, and the second device is operable to reposition the microfabricated cantilever based on an offset detected by the first device.
