N-725 Z-Axis Positioner / Optical Axis Nanopositioning System Offers 5X more Travel Range for High Resolution Microscopes / Surface Metrology

August 7, 2013

Auburn, MA –High precision positioning of microscope objectives along the optical axis has just made a giant leap forward: While piezo actuation has always been the undisputed choice in optical positioning when dynamics and accuracy matter most, some applications could have benefitted from more travel range. A new design principle developed by PI (Physik Instrumente) now extends the positioning range to 2 mm while maintaining very short settling times on the order of 20 milliseconds.

Applications:

Optical metrology, super-resolution microscopy and other techniques require the nanometer and sub-nanometer level resolution and millisecond response provided by … Read More → "N-725 Z-Axis Positioner / Optical Axis Nanopositioning System Offers 5X more Travel Range for High Resolution Microscopes / Surface Metrology"
