MIPOS objective/lens positioners allow a microscope or other optical device to precisely focus and act as a piezo scanner with sub-nanometer resolution. These high quality positioners are simple to attach to standard microscopes and provide a quick easy way to upgrade a microscopy system.
The z-axis actuating system for precise objective positioning is made for applications such as single photon microscopy, laser scanning microscopy, and confocal microscopy. In general, for all kinds of very precise high resolution microscope scanning. The MIPOS piezo lens positioner is able to move the optical objective lens with unique position repeatability in the sub-nanometer range. The piezo objective positioner reacts immediately if the controller signal is adjusted. This solution offers high speed and high dynamic performance as a piezo objective slide scanners, confocal scanners and other types of optical scanners and microscopes.
A piezoelectric actuator is mounted in a unique lever transmission design of flexure hinges. The small motion of the actuator, caused by an analog control signal, is transferred to a special point. The sophisticated monolithic guidance design of the solid flexure hinges means the trajectory is free of mechanical play and friction – a feature of all piezosystem jena stages.
Due to this technology, the motion is parallel to the optical beam. The resolution is very high and in practice only limited by the voltage noise of the power supply. This is why we can guarantee high accuracy only when also using piezosystem jena electronics.
All MIPOS systems can be equipped with an integrated positioning feedback sensor to check and control the exact accuracy of these fine focus scanner systems.
Threading adapters are available allowing these objective positioners to be used with all standard microscopes – standard or inverted applications. Threads are available for Zeiss, Leica, Nikon, Olympus etc. microscopy systems.
