FIGURE 1. The MICI80-KMI53 microscopy stage from Piezosystem Jena, available in both open- and closed-loop versions, can be used for positioning or scanning with sub-nanometer resolution. The ultrastiff flexure design drives the digital micrometer heads with a resolution of 1 µm, a manual range of motion of 25 mm in the x-y axes, and a piezo-based range of motion of 80 µm. A proprietary frame design links the x-y axes in a single piece of metal for superior orthogonality and flatness. A special coil spring system delivers a constant force throughout the manual travel range of the stage, allowing preload optimization over the entire range of travel for extremely low drifting behavior.
Manufacturers have made strides in stages and flexure design to enable fast, accurate, nanometer-scale motion control in high-resolution microscopy and other short-travel applications...

A nanopositioning stage is in use by the National Institute of Health’s Computer Integrated Systems for Microscopy and Manipulation center at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill, NC) to perform nanometer-resolution long-range tracking during magnetic-force experiments on biological samples. Here, a magnetics stage is mounted on a nanopositioning stage in an inverted optical microscope.
Position noise in a nanopositioner as a function of frequency is quantified with the help of a known sine-wave reference signal, allowing scaling to reflect the peak-to-peak noise...

MadPLL is a fully integrated instrument package that allows the user to create an inexpensive, high-resolution resonant scanning probe microscope.
FIGURE 1. A high-speed, high-precision rotational stage is formed from a single piece of aluminum. The rotational platform (center) is attached to the outer frame by flexure hinges that are formed by electric-discharge machining.
Many applications now demand high-speed rotational motion, ultra­sensitive rotational motion, or both.
