Product Description

The Nano-View® is a fully integrated positioning system for use with inverted optical microscopes. The Nano- View® combines a long range, motor driven, two axis, linear motion stage with an ultra-low profile, high resolution piezo nanopositioning system. The micropositioning stage provides 25 mm of travel per axis. Optional linear encoders provide high resolution (50 nm) real-time feedback of the actual stage position. The minimum step size is 95 nm with a step repeatability of 50 nm. The piezo nanopositioning systems built into the Nano-View® have the lowest profile available and have ranges of motion extending up to 300 microns per axis (X,Y and Z). Internal position sensors utilizing proprietary PicoQ® technology provide absolute, repeatable position measurement with picometer accuracy under closed loop control. A Nano-View® system includes the Nano- Drive® controller and the Micro-Drive controller which connects to a PC using a standard USB computer interface. The Micro-Drive™ is fully compatible with user written LabVIEW software and the system is provided with a basic LabVIEW motion control routine for positioning in XY. The Nano-View® is the complete picometer scale positioning system for single molecule spectroscopy and high resolution microscopy applications. Standard Nano-View® systems are offered for the following inverted microscopes: Mad City Labs RM21™ Microscope Platform, Olympus IX/IX2 Series, Nikon TE2000/Ti Series, Leica DMI Series, and Zeiss Axiovert/Axio Observer Series. Nano-View® systems designed to fit other setups, including direct mounting to optical tables, may also be requested.

Additional information regarding the built in nanopositioning systems can be found on the Nano-LPS Series, Nano-BioS Series, and Nano-LPQ pages. For a combination of stepper motor XY travel and piezo Z travel, see the MCL-MOTNZ.
