A new line of mechanical positioning systems with high load capacity and stiffness has been introduced by McPherson
Owis has introduced its VT 30 translation stages, which are suitable for simple but precise tasks such as the exact adjustment and positioning of small parts and samples
The PIMag V-551, a new linear stage offered by Physik Instrumente (PI), has a modular design and a width of only 160 mm, making it possible to customise different versions
A new addition to the PIMag line of precision positioning stages with magnetic direct drives has been announced by PI (Physik Instrumente)
Edmund Optics (EO) has introduced its range of Techspec Right Angle Mirrors, which feature enhanced aluminium, protected silver and protected gold metallic coatings
A new miniaturised, piezo-driven linear positioner, the Q-521, has been introduced by Precision positioning systems specialist Physik Instrumente
Piezoconcept has recently launched a new piezostage product line, developed to cover the entire spectrum of nanopositioning, with single axis, multi-axis and stages with rotation/tilt for numerous applications
Aerotech's Planar DLA integrated, open-frame stages have high dynamics and exceptional geometric performance in a low-profile package
Nanopositioning specialist PI (Physik Instrumente) has introduced the new PIglide HS planar XY air bearing stage
A new optics clip from Siskyou secures high flatness (e.g., optics with a flatness of lambda/10 or better) components in optical mounts without significantly degrading their wavefront performance

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.)
