PInano® High Precision Stages for Superresolution Microscopy

PInano® low-profile piezo stages are optimized for very fast step and settle and easy integration into high-resolution microscope applications. They feature a very low profile of 0.8" (20 mm), a large aperture, and long travel ranges to 200 microns with sub-nanometer closed-loop resolution – ideal for leading-edge microscopy and imaging applications.

Why Choose PI?
When piezo stages play a critical role in scientific results, customers prefer PI. Customers know that PI products can be counted on to help them achieve their research objectives because PI has a well earned reputation for performance, quality, reliability, and software tools and support. PI makes piezo stages specifically for optical microscopy applications requirements and budgets

Why Choose PInano® with Piezo-Resistive Sensors?
The PInano® low-cost version with piezo-resistive sensors is designed to provide high performance at minimum cost. For high resolution, closed loop operation, piezoresistive sensors are applied directly to the moving structure and precisely measure the displacement of the stage platform. The very high sensitivity of these sensors provides good position stability and responsiveness as well as sub-nanometer resolution.

Why Choose PInano® Cap High-Stability Stages?
An even higher performance version is equipped with direct measuring dual-plate capacitive sensors. These Johnson- Noise-free sensors provide better stability and linearity than the more economical piezo-resistive sensors.

Why Choose PInano® Trak High Speed Tracking Stages?
Equipped with a larger cross-section, high-stiffness versions of PI's ultra-reliable ceramic-encapsulated PICMA® piezo actuators, these stages provide the fastest response. PI's advanced servo controller technology allows the highest possible dynamics.
