Objective Nanofocusing Stages: Fast Focus Control

Back to Overview
Voice Coil Stages & Piezo Collar Objective Scanners

PI provides a large variety of objective nanofocusing stages with piezo motors and voice coil motors. These nanopositioning scanning stages provide high precision focus control and are ideal for imaging. Fast objective lens positioners (Z-motors or piezo collar scanners), and piezo z-stages (slide-scanners, sample scanners) for deconvolution and 3D imaging (Z-stack acquisition) and fast focusing applications are also available.

Why Choose PI Z-Scanners w/ Voice Coil and Piezo Motors?
PI's piezo-actuated Z-scanners typically achieve 10 times higher focusing speed & precision than classical motorized drives. Our new V-308 Voice Coil motor vertical slide combines longer travel and nanometer resolution.

PI Nanofocusing Stages are Compatible with All Major Image Acquisition Packages
PIFOC® controllers come with a high-bandwidth analog interface for extremely fast response and compatibility with all major image acquisition packages.

New Lower Cost Fast Piezo Focus Packages with Digital Control & Software
For the most commonly used travel ranges and objective diameters, PI has now put together lower cost PIFOC® packages with a new compact digital controller and software. Datasheet: PIFOC® Fast Piezo Focus Systems
These systems also integrate seamlessly with the Focus Trac™ Laser Autofocus systems.
