uMs micromanipulation platform

The SENSAPEX uMs platform is an ultra-stable solution for micromanipulation, designed to minimise vibration while offering high precision. It is flexible and modular yet integrated, allowing smooth positioning even at high speeds. Real-time closed-loop control ensures sub-nanometer accuracy. Compact yet versatile, it is easily expandable and offers a wide range of optics and imaging options, compatible with Nikon lenses and lenses from other manufacturers. Automation is possible thanks to a PC connection and the Sensapex open source SDK.
