Product Description

The MCL-MOTNZ is a value priced positioning system for use with inverted optical microscopes. The MCL-MOTNZ combines a stepper motor XY linear motion stage with a closed loop, high resolution, Z-axis piezo nanopositioning system. The micropositioning stage provides 25 mm of travel per axis with a minimum step size of 95 nm. The use of high precision components and our proprietary intelligent control technique results in an ultra-stable microscope platform with excellent native precision without the addition of costly encoders.

The MCL-MOTNZ z-axis nanopositioner has a travel range of 200 microns and integrates into the nano-qualified microstage. Internal position sensors utilizing proprietary PicoQ® technology provide absolute, repeatable position measurement with sub-nanometer resolution under closed loop control.

The MCL-MOTNZ system includes our compact series of USB 2.0 enabled Nano-Drive®C and Micro-Drive™C controllers. These controllers are fully compatible with user written LabVIEW software and are provided with a basic LabVIEW motion control routine for positioning in all axes. Optional wireless joystick control is also available.

The MCL-MOTNZ is the complete nanometer positioning system for single molecule spectroscopy and high resolution microscopy applications. The MCL-MOTNZ is compatible with Olympus IX Series, Nikon TE/Ti Series, Leica DMI Series, and Zeiss Axiovert/Axio Observer Series. MCL-MOTNZ systems are also compatible with other configurations and direct mounting to optical tables. Available options: sample holders, breadboard (metric or imperial).

The MCL-MANNZ combines a manual micrometer XY stage with a closed loop, high resolution, Z-axis piezo nanopositioning system for an affordable alternative that is easy to control. For combined stepper motor XY with XYZ piezo stage, see the Nano-View® Series. For combined manual XY translateion with XYZ piezo stage, see the Nano-View®/M Series. For a piezo Z stage with a longer travel option and an aperture sized for multi-well plates, see the Nano-ZL Series.
