  1. Video: Nanopositioning Applications For Microscopy, Neuroscience, And Metrology 1/28/2016

    PI provides a large variety of fast Z-Stages and collar piezo objective positioners for 3D imaging (Z-stack acquisition), deconvolution, and fast focusing applications. These Piezo nanopositioning stages & positioners are essential tools for high-resolution metrology and microscopy applications due to their sub-atomic resolution and extremely fast response times.

  2. Hexapod 6-Axis Systems for Micro Manufacturing / Fiber Alignment Operation 1/27/2016

    This video is an introduction of hexapod parallel kinematic 6-axis positioners, and a visual representation of key features of operation.

  3. New Detector For Beam Position Monitoring, UV Scanners, And Inspection Tools 2/10/2014

    Opto Diode’s national sales manager Stan Duda kept us up to date on some new developments at Opto Diode. Watch the video to learn more about a new EUV compatible position sensing detector covering the 0.1 nm to 400 nm spectral range.

  4. How Does Magnetic Levitation Work? Planar 6-Axis Precision Positioning Stage 6/27/2013

    The PIMag 6D is a design concept for multi-axis nanopositioning applications where the highest precision is required, e.g. in semiconductor processing and inspection systems. This novel precision positioning system is based on magnetic levitation: The completely passive platform levitates on a magnetic field, which actively positions and also guides it. Objects can be moved linearly or rotationally on a plane with a unprecedented guiding accuracy.

  5. Precise Positioning Results in Higher Quality Imaging 4/30/2013

    Stefan Vorndran with PI (Physik Instrumente) gives us a rundown of their precision positioning technology capabilities at SPIE DSS 2013.
