Z-Piezo Module
The Z-Piezo rapid objective positioning device works alongside the motorized Z-axis to provide high-speed, high-precision scanning not possible with standard mechanisms. Paired with the AOD high-speed scanner, the Z-Piezo module allows for our fastest and most accurate Z-series acquisition.
Features
- Range of travel up to 161μm
- Accuracy +/- 10nm
- Wide range of supported objectives
- Solid-state design allows for 10-20x faster step and settle times than traditional Z-motors
- Flexible position control: manual, software, or via external triggers
