Actuator from piezosystem jena suits nanopositioning systems

Expanding its MIPOS nanopositioning series, piezosystem jena (Jena, Germany) has introduced the N100 actuator for precise fine-focusing of objectives in microscopes and other optical systems. Compact and easy to assemble, it can move the whole nosepiece with the accuracy and speed expected of piezo-based actuators. With an additional load of 5 kg, it has a resonant frequency higher than 100 Hz. A version with a capacitive sensor is also available for increased positioning accuracy.
