PInano^® Piezo Stages for Super-Resolution Microscopy

Low-profile XY, XYZ, and Z piezo nanopositioning stages for super-resolution microscopy, STED microscopy, particle tracking, Z-stack imaging, and high-stability sample positioning.

High Precision Piezo Microscope Stages

PInano^® low-profile piezo stages are optimized for fast step-and-settle performance and easy integration into advanced microscope applications. Their low profile, large aperture, and travel ranges up to 200 microns make them suitable for high-resolution microscopy, imaging, and scanning applications.

PInano^® stages are available with economical piezoresistive sensors or higher-stability dual-plate capacitive sensors. Piezoresistive versions provide strong performance at lower cost, while capacitive versions provide better linearity, stability, and direct position measurement.

PInano^® Trak stages are optimized for high-speed tracking. They use high-stiffness PICMA^® piezo actuators and dynamic controller technology for fast response in particle tracking and single molecule microscopy.

Why PInano?

Low-profile microscope integration
Large aperture for optical access
Fast step-and-settle behavior
Closed-loop sub-nanometer resolution
Options for cost or maximum stability
