  • 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 (5 nm optional). The minimum step size is 95 nm with a step repeatability of 50 nm (25 nm steps with option 5NM). 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 MicroDrive 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.

    Additional information regarding the built in nanopositioning systems can be found on the Nano-LPS Series and the Nano-BioS Series pages.
