Piezo Nanomotion Technology Applied to Optical Microscopy
Piezo Nanomotion Technology Applied to Optical Microscopy With the continuous development of various technologies, optical microscopy becomes more and more important, and plays an important role in life science, material science and other fields. There are many kinds of optical microscopes, such as ordinary optical microscope, fluorescence microscope, phase contrast microscope, inverted microscope, laser confocal scanning microscope, dark field microscope, polarizing microscope and so on. When using light microscopes, the accurate, rapid and stable movement of samples is very important for the study of samples. In various optical microscopy systems, without the support of nano positioning system, the microscopic accuracy often cannot reach the requirements and the scanning speed is slow. Therefore, nano motion control systems are used in many microscope systems. Even if there is no microscope equipment pre-equipped with nano motion control system, it can be built by itself to add nano positioning system. With mature technology and experience in piezo nano motion and control systems, CoreMorrow has equipped a variety of piezo nanosample stages, piezo objective scanners and piezo controllers for various optical microscope systems.
Application of CoreMorrow Piezo Objective Scanner in Optical Microscopy Inverted Microscope The picture below shows an inverted microscope. CoreMorrow XP-721 piezo objective scanner is integrated between the objective lens and the interface. It provides a fine tuning range of 100μm for Z-direction focusing.
Cold Atom Microscope An atomic microscope uses a very sharp probe about the size of a few atoms at the top to scan the surface of the object under observation to create an image. Cold atom microscopy (cold atom
