Super Resolution Microscope Stage: Piezo-Z Slide Scanner Images Faster Jan 29, 2010


View full-size image

PI introduced the new P-736 microscope slide Z-scanner piezo stage at the 2010 BIOS /

Photonics West conference.


Fast, Cost Effective Piezo Z-Stage for all Major Microscopes
The new PI nano™ piezo-Z stages are optimized for very fast step and settle and easy integration into high-resolution microscope applications. They feature a very low profile a large aperture, and travel ranges of up to 200 µm with sub-nanometer closed-loop resolution–ideal for leading-edge microscopy and imaging applications. The piezo stages are designed for inverted microscopes from the four major manufacturers: Leica, Nikon, Olympus and Zeiss. The low profile design of 20 mm (0.8”) facilitates the integration. The large aperture accommodates microscopy accessories such as slide holders, Petri dish holders, etc.
