Motorized Microscope Stage is Driven by High Accuracy Ceramic Linear Motors

Motorized Microscope Stage is Driven by High Accuracy Ceramic Linear Motors

Motorized Microscope Stage is Driven by High Accuracy Ceramic Linear Motors

Self-Locking Piezo Linear Motors and High Resolution Linear Encoders, Up to 10X Higher Stability

The self-clamping ceramic / ceramic linear motors in the M-687 XY positioner are not only more compact than electromagnetic motors, but also provide significantly higher positional stability for the following reasons: once in place, no energy is consumed to hold position (no heat dissipation); no leadscrews that heat up due to friction during motion and cause drift cooling down once the motion stops; no creep caused by lubricant flow in the drive mechanism. The exceptional stability is a great advantage in long term imaging applications.

In addition to the high-precision motors, integrated, 100 nm resolution linear encoders provide direct position feedback to the controller allowing closed-loop operation with high accuracy.

Options: Holders, Piezo-Z stages.

A variety of accessories such as slides holders, petri dish holders, multi-well plate holders is available, as well as high-speed Piezo-Z nanopositioning stages for 3D microscopy, image stack acquisition, or fast auto-focus. PI also provides XYZ piezo nanopositioning flexure stages for Super-Resolution (SR) microscopy.

Features & Advantages

* Low-profile motorized microscope XY stage with large aperture
* Versions for Olympus IX2 and Nikon Eclipse Ti inverted microscopes
* Self-clamping ceramic drive for higher stability
* Highly constant velocity even at low speeds to 10 microns/sec
* Long travel range up to 135x85 mm
* Ideal for long exposure imaging, image stitching, etc.
* High speed up to 120 mm/second
* High precision, 100 nanometer resolution linear encoders
* For inverted microscopes design allows for free rotation of the turret
* Available Piezo-Z Scanner for 3D microscopy / fast auto-focus.
* Accessories: Slides holders, petri dish holder, multi-well plate holders
