PIFOC® objective scanning system for microscopy

Optimized for large travel ranges and fast step-and-settle with step sizes to 3 µm. Compact design and QuickLock Thread Adapters for easy integration in all standard microscope designs. Ideally suited for 2-photon microscopy and all applications where a large travel range is required

Digital controller

All control parameters can be set and optimized via software. Trace Memory allows for displaying the path-time diagram on the host PC. Implemented macro functionality for carrying out measurement tasks, even without constant connection to the host PC

High resolution sensor

High-resolution, optical linear encoder for direct metrology with sub–nm resolution for stable and precise position control

System with controller and software

The compact E-861.1A1 digital servo piezo controller is included in the delivery. Digital servos allow adaptation of all control parameters on the fly, by software. Control is possible via USB and RS-232. Supports PIMikroMove, Nano Capture. PI General Command Set (GCS). Drivers for LabVIEW, shared libraries for Windows and Linux. Compatible with µ Manager, MetaMorph and MATLAB

Fields of application

2-photon microscopy, confocal microscopy, 3D imaging, laser technology, interferometry, biotechnology, micromanipulation, autofocus for large travel ranges.
