US-Manufactured Nanopositioning Stage for Super Resolution Microscopy, Material Science

The PInano® Nanopositioning and Scanning stage can be combined with long-travel motorized microscope stages to cover large samples with nanometer resolution.

PI (Physik Instrumente) offers a series of piezo-flexure controlled nanopositioning stages for high-resolution microscopy and material science applications. The P-545 PInano piezo stage family is engineered for nanometer scale accuracy, high stability, and high scanning speed, by PI’s US design and manufacturing team in Hopkinton, MA.

Performance-Driven Design for Ultra-Fine Control at the Nanoscale

Built to provide motion control performance with stability and resolution at the nanoscale, P-545 PInano piezo stage family integrates space-tested piezoelectric drive technology and offers a choice of position feedback sensors for nanometer precise measurements: Capacitive, non-contact sensors are available as well as highly sensitive piezoresistive strain gauge sensors. Both types provide sub-nanometer resolution, while capacitive sensors are the preferred choice when it comes to maximizing linearity and long-term stability.

Features and Benefits of the PInano Nanopositioning Stage Family

Combination with Long-Travel Inverted Microscope Stages

The PInano piezo nanopositioning stage family easily combines with motorized long-travel microscope stages, such as PI’s new U-781 inverted microscope stage and M-545 manual microscope stages.

Applications and Use Cases – Optimized for Imaging and Beyond

The P-545 PInano stage’s closed-loop control and high-speed mechanics make it highly suitable for a variety of applications, including those requiring smooth, multi-axis motion with high stability, as well as highly dynamic tasks. Its advanced feedback system enables reliable positioning accuracy, scanning speed, and stability over extended operation periods, supporting applications such as biological imaging, semiconductor inspection, photonics testing, particle tracking, 3D imaging, and super-resolution microscopy.

The P-545 PInano piezo stage is available for immediate order in a range of configurations to meet diverse nanoscale application needs. Options include XY or XYZ axes, standard or high-speed versions, and feedback via capacitive measuring sensors or piezoresistive sensors, allowing for customization based on specific performance and application requirements.
