Nanoscan OP motorised stage

Prior Scientific’s NanoScan OP piezo positioners offer high-precision positioning and exceptional response speed for moving objectives along the Z axis. Available in OP200, OP400 and OP800 versions, they enable fast, precise closed-loop movements with sub-nanometric resolution. Designed for easy integration into inverted or upright microscopes, they are ideal for 3D imaging, automatic focus or demanding industrial applications.

Characteristics of the Nanoscan OP

  • Available strokes: OP200 (200 µm), OP400 (400 µm), OP800 (800 µm)
  • Integrated capacitive sensors for maximum accuracy
  • Sub-nanometric resolution with excellent repeatability
  • Ultra-fast settling time
  • M32 threaded mounting with adapters available (M25, M27, RMS)
  • Compatible with inverted and upright microscopes
  • Easy integration via NPC-D-6110 controller and standard software
