Abstract
In one embodiment of the invention, a method to image a probe array is described that includes focusing on a plurality of fiducials on a surface of an array. The method utilizes obtaining the best z position of the fiducials and using a surface fitting algorithm to produce a surface fit profile. One or more surface non-flatness parameters can be adjusted to improve the flatness image of the array surface to be imaged.
