- Selection of travel ranges from 200 μm to 800 μm.
- Capacitive positioning sensors giving market leading resolution.
- Step settle times of <10ms
- Loads of up to 500g (higher loads on request)
- Connectors with built in stage calibration provide plug and play electronics which can be interchanged, minimizing system down times.
- User configurable settings optimized for different sample masses sizes and performance needs. The user simply selects the best setting for their application.
- Tested to function for greater than 10 million full range cycles
NanoScan SP Z Series Piezo Sample Positioner / Scanner
The NanoScan SP Z Series of piezo Z-axis stages offers 200 µm, 400 µm, 600 µm, and 800 µm closed-loop ranges. It is compatible with Prior’s motorized microscope stages and common commercial microscopes.
In terms of velocity, settle time, resolution, and repeatability the SP Series out-performs other market-leading piezo stages. This is due to their high inherent resonant frequency and unique control architecture.
The stages are ultra-slim for easy access to load samples or for integrating with existing systems.
The NanoScan SP Series is suitable for challenging applications such as multiphoton microscopy and whole-organism imaging.
Delivered with Queensgate’s low-noise NPC series controller, the NanoScan SP Series can be configured in the field to work with different loads and performance requirements.
