Product Description |
|
The Nano-View® is a fully integrated positioning system
for use with inverted optical microscopes. The Nano-
View® combines a long range, motor driven, two axis,
linear motion stage with an ultra-low profile, high resolution
nanopositioning system. The micropositioning stage
has integrated linear encoders and provides 25 mm of
travel per axis with an encoder resolution of 20 nm. The minimum step size is 95 nm with a step
repeatability of 50 nm.
The nanopositioning systems built into the Nano-View® have the lowest profile available and have ranges
of motion extending up to 300 microns per axis (X,Y and Z). Internal position sensors utilizing proprietary
PicoQ® technology provide absolute, repeatable position
measurement with picometer accuracy under closed loop
control. A Nano-View® system includes the Nano-
Drive® controller and the Micro-Drive controller which
connects to a PC using a standard USB computer interface.
The Micro-Drive™ is fully compatible with user written
LabVIEW software and the system is provided with
a basic LabVIEW motion control routine for positioning
in XY. The Nano-View® is the complete picometer
scale positioning system for single molecule spectroscopy
and high resolution microscopy applications. Standard Nano-View® systems are offered for the following inverted microscopes: Olympus IX/IX2 Series, Nikon TE2000/Ti Series, Leica DMI Series, and Zeiss Axiovert/Axio Observer Series. Nano-View® systems designed to fit other setups, including direct mounting to optical tables, may also be requested. Additional information regarding the built in nanopositioning systems can be found on the Nano-LPS Series, Nano-BioS Series, Nano-PDQ Series, and Nano-LPQ pages. Compatible Software Packages:      |
