XYZ Microscope Scanning Stages are More Stable with Capacitive Feedback

20 Jul 2015

PI’s 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.

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.
