MICROSCOPY PRODUCTS
The SL160 automated microscope slide loader will be the standard for OEMs and system integrators and allow for precise and safe loading of slides for the pathology, cytology, and screening markets.
The P-725.xCDE2 PIFOC Focus Scanner provides dynamic scanning with travel ranges of 100 µm, 400 µm, or 800 µm and significantly faster response and longer lifetime than motorized drives.
Precision-class XY stages are suitable for applications that require fast precision positioning. When switched off, the drive holds the stage stable, reducing energy consumption and heat generation.
The PIMars Nanopositioning Stage is a high-precision nanopositioner for up to 3 axes. This product features parallel kinematics for faster response times and higher multi-axis accuracy.
The M-545 Microscope XY Stage features a stable platform for P-545 PInano® piezo nanopositioning systems, a travel range 25 mm × 25 mm, and a low profile for easy integration.
The PIFOC High-Load Objective Scanner is a dynamic system with a long travel range and features the highest linearity, stability, and control dynamics due to direct-measuring capacitive sensors.
PIFOC Objective Scanning Systems feature nanometer precision and high feed force with walking drives, accurate position measuring with an incremental encoder and quick, efficient software integration.
Mad City Labs' QS-PLL™ is an atomic force microscope (AFM) controller designed for use with resonant probes, such as tuning forks, and Mad City Labs nanopositioners and micropositioners. The controller integrates motion control and phase lock loop (PLL) control thus streamlining the hardware interface.
