P-726 Piezo Stage for Objective Lenses in Biotechnology

100 µm stroke, sub-nanometer resolution, high-response focus scanner at 560 Hz with a load of 210 g.

In the field of biotechnology, cell observation is affected by minute focus fluctuations that impact image quality. The P-726 PIFOC is a high-load-capable focus scanner with a Z stroke of 100 µm and sub-nanometer resolution. Direct position feedback from a capacitive sensor and a flexure guide structure ensure high positioning accuracy and reproducibility. Furthermore, it maintains high dynamic performance with a resonance frequency of 560 Hz at a load of 210 g, even when equipped with high NA objective lenses. The fast settling time (approximately 6 ms) enhances the efficiency of Z-stack acquisition and focus scanning. 【Application Scenarios】 - Confocal microscopy - Super-resolution microscopy - Live cell imaging - 3D imaging with Z-stack acquisition 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved image stability through high-precision focus control - Enhanced measurement efficiency due to fast Z response - Increased design flexibility of optical systems due to high load capacity - High reproducibility in focus positioning
