P-736 PInano® Z Microscope Scanner for Microtiter Plates
Large Clear Aperture, Low Profile, with Digital Controller
- Fast step & settle
- Clear aperture for well plates and low profile for easy integration
- Travel range 220 µm
- Outstanding lifetime due to PICMA® piezo actuators
- Piezoresistive sensors for lower cost
- Capacitive sensors for higher stability
Precision-class nanopositioning system for high-resolution microscopy
Optimized for very fast step-and-settle. Exceptionally low profile of 18 mm for easy integration. Versions available for inverted microscopes from Nikon and Olympus.
PICMA® piezo actuator drive
All-ceramic insulation for maximum operating time. Significantly higher humidity resistance. Excellent guiding accuracy due to FEA-modeled flexure joints.
Choice of feedback sensors: piezoresistive or capacitive
- High-resolution piezoresistive sensors ensure stable position control
- Direct-measuring capacitive sensors for considerably improved stability and repeatability compared to piezoresistive sensors
System with controller and software
The compact E-709 digital servo piezo controller is included in the delivery. Digital servos allow adaptation of all control parameters on the fly, by software. Control is possible via USB, RS-232 and a broadband analog interface. Supports PIMikroMove, NanoCapture. PI General Command Set (GCS). Drivers for LabVIEW, shared libraries for Windows and Linux. Compatible with µManager, MetaMorph, MATLAB and Andor iQ.

기술
PICMA® Technology
Highly reliable and extended lifetime through the patented manufacturing process for multilayer actuators.
Flexure Guiding Systems
Flexure guides from PI have proven their worth in nanopositioning. They guide the piezo actuator and ensure a straight motion without tilting or lateral offset.
Digital Motion Controllers
Digital technology opens up possibilities for improving performance in control engineering which do not exist with conventional analog technology.
