P-720
PIFOC® Microscope Objective NanoPositioners & Scanners
  • Remotely Positions Objectives with Sub-nm Resolution
  • Travel to 100 µm
  • Straightness of Travel £ 13 µrad
  • Fast Settling Time






P-720 PIFOC® microscope objective NanoPositioners are fast and compact drive units which can be mounted on most microscopes. The units are screwed between the turret and the objective, providing a positioning and scanning range of up to 100 µm with sub-nanometer resolution, while extending the optical path by only 13 mm (infinity-corrected microscope required; extension tubes are available to adjust path lengths of other objectives on the turret).

The standard thread is W0.8 x 1/36", for alternate threads see P-721. CLQ. For larger positioning ranges to 400 µm see P-725 see link.

In open-loop operation, the vertical position of the objective is roughly proportional to the drive voltage (see link in the "Tutorial: Piezoelectrics in Positioning" section for behavior of open-loop piezos). The open-loop models, P-720 is ideal for tracking applications where the position is controlled by data provided by an external sensor (e.g. optical displacement sensor, a CCD camera, etc.).
