New Piezo Stage Helps Researchers Study Proteins May 8, 2009

The inventor of Piezo Z-nanofocusing drives has extended its line of piezo stages for super resolution microscopes.

Super resolution microscopy (nanoscopy) refers to optical techniques that go beyond the diffraction limit. They are often used as tools for bio-medical research revealing deatails of proteins and biomolecules, resolving to the 10 nanometer scale. Most super-resolution microscopes incorporate piezo precision positioning devices for scanning or focusing.

The new PI-nano™ series piezo stages feature a low profile of 20 mm, large aperture & deliver highly accurate motion with sub-nanometer resolution in 2 & 3 axes. A piezo controller is included; it has a 24-bit USB port, Ethernet, RS-232 & analog interface, + solid software support for all major image acquisition packages.

Datasheet: PI-Nano Piezo-Stage
