The Nano-Viewis a fully integrated positioning system for use with inverted optical microscopes. The Nano- Viewcombines a long range, motor driven, two axis, linear motion stage with an ultra-low profile, high resolution nanopositioning system. The micropositioning stage provides 25 mm of travel per axis. Optional linear encoders provide high resolution (20 nm) real-time feedback of the actual stage position. The minimum step size is 95 nm with a step repeatability of 50 nm. The nanopositioning systems built into the Nano-Viewhave 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 PicoQtechnology provide absolute, repeatable position measurement with picometer accuracy under closed loop control. A Nano-Viewsystem includes the Nano- Drivecontroller 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-Viewis the complete picometer scale positioning system for single molecule spectroscopy and high resolution microscopy applications. Standard Nano-Viewsystems are offered for the following inverted microscopes: Mad City LabsRM21 Microscope Platform, Olympus IX/IX2 Series, Nikon TE2000/Ti Series, Leica DMI Series, and Zeiss Axiovert/Axio Observer Series. Nano-Viewsystems 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 theNano-LPS Series,Nano-BioS Series, andNano-LPQpages. For a combination of stepper motor XY travel and piezo Z travel, see theMCL-MOTNZ.
