nPoint Offers Large Aperture Piezo Stage for Precision Microscopy Applications

Middleton, WI | Posted on November 19th, 2013

The NPXY300-291 nanopositioning stage from nPoint is a piezo driven, flexure guided stage, designed for high speed and nanometer precision.The stage has a large aperture (85mm X 95mm) yet is very thin (23mm). With a position noise of 1nm the NPXY300-291 provides the accuracy necessary for today's advanced applications. When paired with the LC.402 DSP controller, the system provides closed-loop capability via capacitive sensors. The NPXY300-291 has travel of 300µm in both the X and Y axis and with the large aperture, creates a great deal of flexibility for incorporation in optics and nanotechnology systems. A resonant frequency of 240Hz allows for scanning of up to 24Hz and settling times less than 20ms.

As the latest addition to nPoint's piezo stage offering, the NPXY300-291 can be used in a variety of areas including research, manufacturing, and as an OEM system component.

Application examples include: near-field scanning optical microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, optical microscopy, lithography, nanometer-scale manipulation, metrology, and optical fiber alignment.
