The new MIPOS 800 – High Precision Z-axis Objective Positioner for a Longer Focus Range
Jena, Germany – November 7, 2024 - piezosystem jena, a leading manufacturer of piezo-based nano-positioning systems, introduces the new MIPOS 800. It is the next addition to the MIPOS objective positioner series, designed to meet the demands of high-precision microscopy applications. Offering a travel range of 800 µm in open-loop and 650 µm in closed-loop, the MIPOS 800 guarantees high accuracy, speed, and stability based on its high stiffness
Equipped with integrated strain gauge (SG) sensors, the system provides resolution down to 12 nm which is ideal for various fine focusing tasks. The closed-loop control system continuously tracks and regulates the position of the piezo and hence ensures highly reliable performance for the positioning of objectives in the Z-direction.
The MIPOS 800 features a unique parallelogram flexure guidance design that guarantees high parallel motion across the entire travel range without influencing the optical axis. The design includes an integrated pre-load so that the actuator can operate at a high resonant frequency. Additionally, the MIPOS 800 can accommodate objectives up to 42 mm in diameter which makes it versatile for various experimental set-ups.
A key feature of the MIPOS 800 is its ultra-fast response time in combination with a matching amplifier system from piezosystem jena. With rapid settling times and high mechanical stability, researchers and engineers can benefit from accelerated scanning processes without sacrificing precision. The compact and lightweight design also ensures seamless integration into existing microscopy systems.
Whether users are conducting biotechnology applications, such as live-cell imaging or other advanced research requiring nanometer-level positioning, such as surface scanning and analysis, the MIPOS 800 is the ideal solution for high-resolution optical applications.
The MIPOS 800 is compatible with all major microscopes and can be modified upon request to fit into OEM system and industrial set-ups.
