[P-725.xCDE2 for Biotechnology]
Sub-nanometer resolution, Z-direction maximum stroke of 800 µm, equipped with a flexure mechanism focus scanner.
In the field of biotechnology, precise focus control is essential for high-resolution observation of the fine structures of cells and tissues in microscopic imaging applications. This is particularly true for 3D imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy and multiphoton microscopy, where high resolution and fast responsiveness along the Z-axis (focus direction) directly impact observation accuracy. The P-725.xCDE2 PIFOC Focus Scanner employs a flexure guide mechanism with PICMA piezo actuators and capacitive sensors to achieve precise focus control with sub-nanometer resolution. It also supports a maximum stroke of 800 µm, enabling fast and high-precision scanning over a wide range in the depth direction. These characteristics help reduce observation time while minimizing focus position shifts, ultimately contributing to improved reliability and efficiency of experiments. 【Application Scenes】 - Confocal microscopy - Multiphoton microscopy - 3D imaging - Live cell imaging - High-throughput microscopy screening 【Benefits of Implementation】 - High-precision Z-direction focus control - Expanded range of focus stroke - Improved observation efficiency through fast scanning - Stable imaging quality
