Introducing the Nano-LPQ: Thin, high speed nanopositioning for particle tracking Aug 10, 2009

The Nano-LPQ piezo nanopositioning system features equal speed in XYZ,21 mm low profile,integrated sample holder, picometer precision,75 x 75 x 50 microns. Ideal for particle tracking & SR microscopy.

The new Nano-LPQ piezo nanopositioner adds to our innovative line of low profile systems designed specifically for microscopy users. The Nano-LPQ is the lowest profile high speed XYZ nanopositioner available and offers 75 x 75 x 50μm travel with picometer position noise under closed loop control. The Nano-LPQ features equal millisecond response times in XYZ, an integrated sample holder, analog and digital control with added scan synchronization features, and compatibility with major image and automation software. The Nano-LPQ is LabView™ and C++ compatible and is supplied with Mad City Labs’ Nano-Route™3D software, for ease of use.
With its outstanding features and performance, the Nano-LPQ is the ideal choice for 3D particle tracking and super resolution microscopy applications.

The 3 axis Nano-LPQ is the lowest profile, high speed nanopositioning system suitable for demanding microscopy applications such as particle tracking and super resolution (SR) microscopy. The Nano-LPQ continues the innovative design approach originally introduced by Mad City Labs. The Nano-LPQ has been specifically designed for microscopy users for ease of use. At only 21mm tall and an integrated sample holder, the Nano-LPQ is designed for practical microscopy users interested in high speed nanoscale phenomena. The Nano-LPQ features equal speeds in XYZ and picometer precision under closed loop control. With 75 x 75 x 50 microns of motion, the Nano-LPQ offers substantially longer ranges of motion than our competitors, making it more useful to leading edge researchers. Our proprietary PicoQTM sensors enable real time position sensing, which is important for demanding applications such as 3D particle tracking. With all these attributes the Nano-LPQ is the undisputed leader in high speed microscopy motion.

Included is the Nano-DriveTM controller enabled with an analog interface and a true USB 2.0 port, scan synchronization capabilities and Mad City Labs' Nano-RouteTM software. In addition, the system is compatible with leading image and automation software such as Metamorph, LabView, C++, MicroManager and Scope Pro. The Nano-LPS has been carefully designed to meet the needs of the practicing microscopist interested in high speed phenomena.
