NanoScan SP Z Series

Nanopositioning Piezo Z-Axis Stage

The NanoScan SP Z Series of piezo Z-axis stages offers 200 µm, 400 µm, 600 µm and 800 µm closed-loop ranges. It is compatible with Prior's motorized microscope stages and common commercial microscopes.

In terms of velocity, settle time, resolution, and repeatability the SP Series out-performs other market-leading piezo stages. This is due to their high inherent resonant frequency and unique control architecture.

The stages are ultra-slim for easy access to load samples or for integrating with existing systems.

The NanoScan SP Series is suitable for challenging applications such as multiphoton microscopy and whole-organism imaging.

Delivered with Queensgate's low-noise NPC series controller, the NanoScan SP Series can be configured in the field to work with different loads and performance requirements.

High-precision piezo-driven XY translation from Queensgate is also available. Contact us to learn more.
