Focus Stages

Focus Stages

One of the most common use for piezo stages is the rapid movement of a microscope objective to maintain focus while a sample is being inspected/imaged. The nPFocus line does just that and offers ranges of motion up to 1000um. Common applications include Life Sciences, Semiconductor, Data Storage, and Microscopy. A typical objective weighs between 100g and 300g. Custom designs are capable of moving entire microscope turrets weighing up to 4kg.
