Scanner bow is the relevant artefact. A piezoelectric tube scanner bends to produce lateral displacement; its moving end also follows a curved vertical trajectory. Cross-coupling of lateral and vertical motion therefore gives a roughly quadratic height background even over a flat reference. Over a wide scan it can mimic or conceal a genuine parabolic sample profile; its sign depends on scanner geometry and height convention.

A curved scanner trajectory adds a background indistinguishable from a parabolic sample in one scan
