Mad City Labs, Inc.

Designs & manufactures high precision, closed loop piezo nanopositioning systems. Picometer precision, high speed, innovative design. Ideal for super resolution (SR) microscopy, fiber positioning, beam steering, SPM, AFM, interferometry, and more.

Mad City Labs, Inc offers a wide variety of nanopositioners, micropositioners, and instrument solutions. Please select from the categories below to browse our product lines. Custom/OEM options are available for the majority of our products. Contact our sales team about modifying existing products or developing customized solutions.

Nanopositioning Systems
Mad City Labs' nanopositioning systems move and maintain the position of objects with sub-nanometer precision and high stability. Applications for nanopositioners include super resolution microscopy, high speed confocal imaging, AFM, NSOM, SPM, optical trapping, fiber positioning, single molecule spectroscopy, single molecule/particle tracking, high resolution optical alignment, nanoscopy and lithography.


Micropositioning Systems
Mad City Labs micropositioning stages are designed to complement our high precision nanopositioning systems. Our micropositioning stages provide extended range of motion and are designed to provide a stable platform for our nanopositioners. Our product line includes high precision manual stages and fully automated, programmable stages for use with optical microscopes or stand-alone instruments. 


General Microscopy
Nano-scale precision motion and stability are cornerstones of research grade microscopes for high resolution imaging. Mad City Labs provides nanopositioning systems, micropositoining systems, and stabilization systems that assist users with developing and adapting instrumentation for their own application requirements. Contact our sales and engineering team to discuss the right products for your application.


Single Molecule Microscopy
Nano-scale precision motion and stability are cornerstones of research grade microscopes for single molecule imaging. Mad City Labs has developed modular microscopes that ease integration of optical components and assist users with developing and adapting instrumentation for their own application requirements. Contact our single molecule microscopy application development team to discuss the right products for your application.


Atomic Force Microscopy and Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy
High resolution AFM and NSOM require positioning systems with high resolution, repeatability, and stability. Mad City Labs has developed positioning systems that ease integration and assist users with developing and adapting instrumentation for their own application requirements. Our experienced sales and engineering team can assist you further with the right solution for your application.


Nanometer Measurement
The Nano-Gauge™ is an ultra high precision, single axis, displacement measuring instrument capable of resolving dimensions down to 1.5 nanometers (0.06 microinches) over a full scale range of 25mm (1 inch). Combining ease-of-use and small physical size, the Nano-Gauge™ can be quickly adapted to a wide variety of precision measurement situations without lengthy or complex setup procedures.


Vacuum Compatible Instruments
Nearly all standard systems can be modified for vacuum applications to 10-8 Torr if baking is not necessary. Many UHV applications require custom designed solutions. With experienced UHV instrumentation specialists on staff, we can provide custom nanopositioning and micropositioning solutions for your vacuum application.


Piezoactuators
Multilayer piezoactuators offer precise motion, low energy consumption, fast response times and high force, can be used in a variety of applications and environments, e.g. AFM, fiber positioning, valves, medical nanotechnology, and metrology. Piezoactuators offer considerable advantages although applications that require guided or repeatable motion are best served by our high precision, closed loop nanopositioning systems. We offer a standard range of 150V piezoactuators. In addition we can supply custom designed piezoactuators. Our piezoactuators can be controlled using our PA25 Amplifier for optimum performance.
