Physik Instrumente, known for nanometre precision motion components, systems, and solutions, has introduced its newest digital servo controller with 3-channels, offering greater flexibility for miniaturised precision positioning and handling tasks
Aerotech's QFOCUS QF-46 piezo nanopositioning stage series enables the positioning of microscope objectives and optics at high-speeds with nanometre-level performance
Nanopositioning of high loads, such as detectors or cameras can be a difficult task. Attocube's new ECSz5050 piezo drive has been developed to meet these demands
Newport has introduced the PX series of forkless pedestals and posts, a space saving option for the stable mounting of optical components
The new OGX series of optical mounts from Siskiyou deliver a combination of adjustment functionality and stability
Physik Instrumente has introduced the N-565 linear stage series that uses piezoelectric stepping drives. The drives enable repeatability in the range of a few nanometres
Prior Scientific has introduced accessory mounting wings for its H117 stage for inverted microscopes, enabling the simple and precise integration of tools such as microfluidic pumps, micro-injectors, micromanipulators, probes and sensors
Ultrasonic piezomotors are small, fast, and inexpensive. They are suitable for applications with low operating cycles and can also be integrated into mobile measuring and medical devices
Newport is adding the Guardian Series of active isolation workstations to its portfolio of isolation systems
Elliot Scientific is now shipping automated alignment packages comprising their latest in piezo controlled Elliot Martock Gold Series flexure stages

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
Newly discovered fundamental rules have been embedded into software to dramatically optimise the design of photonic integrated circuits
