  1. Crossed Roller Stages Offer High Performance In A Low Profile Package 4/20/2016

    Siskiyou offers a new series of crossed roller bearing linear stages that are the thinnest currently available on the market.  The 50.5cr stages are the ideal choice for space or weight constrained applications which still require the high stability, precise movement and relatively high load capacity characteristic of crossed roller bearings.  In addition, these stages feature a non-influencing foil lock mechanism; this is a screw that tightens down to clamp the stage in a fixed position, without changing its existing position.

    New Focus, a Newport Corporation Brand, announces the new Model 8742 Open-Loop Picomotor controller/driver module with 4 channels. The compact, single-box design with an integrated controller and driver provides a low-cost solution for driving New Focus open-loop Picomotor products. 

  10. Linkam Scientific Instruments Reports On The Launch Of Their New Cryo-Correlative Cooling Stage 12/11/2012

    Linkam are pleased to announce the development and launch of a stage for cryo-correlative light/electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM). It was designed in collaboration with scientists at the Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) led by Bram Koster and Erik Bos. Cryo-CLEM is the correlation of images captured with a cryostage on a fluorescent light microscope and images of the same sample observed with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
