The Nano-ZL Series are long range, Z-axis piezo nanopositioners
specifically designed to hold multiwell plates
used in biomedical research. High-throughput single
cell fluorescence microscopy and high speed, high
resolution confocal imaging can be accomplished while
simultaneously adjusting the Z-axis position to remove
the effects of multiwell plate irregularities. The Nano-
ZL Series has true flexure guided motion and contains internal position sensing. Utilizing proprietary PicoQ®
technology, the position sensors provide absolute, repeatable
position measurement for closed loop control
with a resolution of better than 1 nm over the full 500
micron travel range and sub-nanometer for the shorter
100 micron travel range. In addition to high resolution
spatial imaging, the Nano-ZL step response allows entire
Z-section acquisitions with minimal photo bleaching.
The Nano-ZL Series is a featured product on our Piezo Stage website, which highlights our high-speed z-axis positioners. Additional information and resources are available there.
