Simple and economical capacitive displacement system for UHV operation.
A parallel plate capacitor was assembled as a displacement transducer for operation in an UHV environment. The capacitive displacement system was linear over a 2.5 mum range with a resolution of 0.051 mum. Components in the electric circuit were common laboratory instruments.
