A vibrating reed magnetometer, based on an Inchworm motor and a tunnelling-tip sensor

We have constructed a prototype of a vibrating reed magnetometer with a tunnel junction sensor. Our design uses a single Inchworm motor, controlled by a PC, for both coarse approach and fine positioning. This article discusses the mechanical design of the system, the interface electronics, the software and the preliminary test results.
