NanoScan OP200


Nanopositioning Piezo Objective Scanner With 200 µm Range

The NanoScan OP200 piezo-driven objective positioner is compatible with most commercial and customized microscopes. The stage features an M32 objective thread as standard with a wide range of adapters available.

Its high stiffness (1.3 N/µm) provides class-leading step settle performance over a range of up to 200 µm. It features capacitive feedback sensors that ensure exceptional repeatability and resolution.

Settings for inverted or upright operation and load capacity are set during manufacture and can be further tuned in the field to optimize for specific applications.

Customized mounting and objective holders for OEM applications are available on request.

0-500 g load as standard. High and custom load tuning is available on request.


    • 200 μm closed-loop travel range (260 μm open loop range).
    • High-stiffness (1.3 N/um) provides class-leading step-settle performance. 
    • Stainless steel construction provides greater mechanical stiffness and temperature stability.
    • Capacitive positioning sensors used to give sub-nanometer positioning and the best resolution, stability, and repeatability.
    • Connectors with built-in stage calibration provide plug-and-play electronics that can be interchanged, minimizing system downtime.
