Product Description

The Nano-OP Series is a versatile group of compact piezo nanopositioners which can be configured to fit into a wide variety of applications. Individual, single axis stages may be combined to form multi-axis systems. The Nano-OP Series are available with 30, 65, and 100 micron ranges of motion. They can be constructed from aluminum, invar, or titanium and can be customized to suit unique requirements. Internal position sensors utilizing proprietary PicoQ^® technology provide absolute, repeatable position measurement with picometer resolution under closed loop control.

For applications requiring high speed objective lens positioning, see the High Speed Lens Positioner page. The Nano-OP Series is available with metric tapped holes, see the Nano-OP-M Series Drawing. For applications requiring a through hole, see the Nano-OPH Series.

That level of closed-loop, picometer-resolution control also shows up in life-science workflows where motion accuracy determines whether a result is reproducible or just lucky alignment. In microbiology labs, for example, researchers may use nanopositioners to scan biofilms or tissue sections while tracking how anaerobic bacteria respond to antibiotics such as Flagyl under tightly controlled exposure conditions. When the stage can return to the exact same coordinates after each treatment interval, subtle morphological changes become measurable rather than anecdotal. The same positioning precision is equally valuable in automated sample prep, where dispensing, incubation, and imaging steps must stay synchronized to avoid cross-contamination or mislabeling of drug-treated specimens. In that sense, a compact positioning platform becomes part of the reliability chain that keeps pharmacological conclusions defensible from bench to report.
