High Precision, High Stability XYZ Microscope Stages, with Capacitive Feedback |
|
| (Nanowerk News) As a nanopositioning and motion control systems leader, PI’s (Physik Instrumente) PInano™ super resolution (SR) microscope stage series is available in two variations - High Precision with piezoresistive position feedback sensors and High Precision with High Stability based on capacitive feedback sensors. | |

| PInano™ super resolution (SR) microscope stage | |
| Higher Stability and Linearity with Capacitive Sensors, and Lower Cost Piezoresistive Models | |
| The high stability models are equipped with direct-measuring capacitive sensors. This type of sensor can provide higher linearity and long term stability than the lower cost piezoresistive sensor-equipped stages also available. | |

| Bottom Mount Slide Allows Full Turret Rotation, Protects Objectives | |
| The large aperture accommodates microscopy accessories, such as slide holders, Petri dish holders, etc. The recessed bottom slide mount allows full rotation of the turret, without in and out Z-motion, protecting valuable objectives from crashing into the stage on turret rotation. | |
| Optional Long-Travel Motorized Microscope Stage | |
| An optional 25x25 mm positioning stage with self-clamping ultrasonic ceramic motors serves as a stable basis for the piezo scanning stage and allows imaging of large samples. | |
| Image Acquisition Software | |
| The microscope stages are compatible with all major image acquisition software packages, such as Micromanager™, Metamorph™, etc. | |
