A new version of the Piezosystem jena ServiceTool 1.2 for digital piezo electronics has been released. The programme is used for the controlling of piezo-actuators by the digital amplifiers d-Drive and 30DV50 from piezosystem jena
With the nano box USB, piezosystem jena provides a digital piezo amplifier with an USB 2.0 interface. The nano box USB is designed to operate all piezo actuators, which have the suffix D in their part number
Physik Instrumente (PI) has introduced vacuum-compatible versions of the LPS-24 series. Under vacuum conditions down to 10-6hPa, the miniature stages achieve a sub-nanometre resolution over a travel range of 15mm
To align laser modules as comfortably and exactly as possible and simultaneously save as much time as possible, Laser Components has developed its own laser module mounts
Scanlab will introduce an integrated hybrid polygon laser scan system at Lasys in Stuttgart
Aerotech has introduced a Ball-Screw Stage with Linear Encoder, a compact, high-performance linear positioning stage featuring smooth travel combined with high accuracy, repeatability and positioning resolution capability to 25nm
Piezosystem Jena has launched the D-Drive Pro, the latest generation of digital control electronics for piezo actuators, for micro and nano positioning for accurate movement of optical components
PI (Physik Instrumente) now offers the M-417 stage, which has a repeatability of 0.5um over a 500mm travel range, for precise positioning tasks in precision fabrication and automation
Physik Instrumente (PI) has launched a product line of linear nanopositioning systems, the P-630 stages, for a range of applications including use in sensor heads or precision motion of objects in optical and tactile metrology
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.)
