Physik Instrumente P-737 PIFOC Piezo-Z Stage
PI's (Physik Instrumente) P-737 PIFOC Piezo-Z Stage is a high performance nanopositioning Z control system. The P-737 is specifically designed for biotech research microscopes utilizing deconvolution and 3D imaging techniques. The P-737 PIFOC specimen Z-stage features up to 250 µm travel, millisecond responsiveness, and nanometer precise motion under closed-loop control.
The P-737 PIFOC stage is a new addition to the PIFOC brand of high-speed piezo objective Z-steppers. While no sample stage can beat the speed of the fastest PIFOC objective positioners (due to the stiffer, more compact design), the P-737 PIFOC stage allows for millisecond sample settling enabling convenient Z-stack imaging with multiple objectives and very high throughput. The fast response of the P-737 fully utilizes the high throughput of the latest digital imaging systems and achieves 10 to 50 times faster response than conventional stepper motor focus drives.
The P-737 PIFOC stage is available with a number of analog and highly sophisticated digital piezo controllers and can be controlled through digital interfaces as well as by fast analog signals through a high-speed 0-10V input. The system is fully compatible with all leading imaging acquisition packages. For ease of integration, a comprehensive set of LabView drivers is included, even for the analog control option.
