Product Description

The Nano-Z Series are high precision Z-axis piezo nanopositioners specifically designed to hold slides, chambered slides, cover slips and 35mm petri dishes. The Nano-Z series nanopositioning systems are ideal for single cell fluorescence microscopy, super resolution microscopy and high resolution confocal imaging. The nanopositioning stages have 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 sub-nanometer resolution. The Nano-Z series offers smooth, continuous travel with superior resolution and stability for advanced microscopy techniques.

Over the years, Mad City Labs has produced Nano-Z stages to fit most microscope stages available, from manufacturers such as Olympus, LEP, Prior Scientific and Marzhauzer. For additional information please consult the following table of available models.

The Nano-Z Series are compatible with many microscope stages. For a combination stepper motor XY microscope stage and piezo Z stage, see the MCL-MOTNZ. For a combination of manual micrometer XY microsope stage and piezo Z stage, see the MCL-MANNZ. For a piezo Z stage with a longer travel option and an aperture sized for multi-well plates, see the Nano-ZL Series.
