Nanopositioning White Papers
Clean, New Bioenergy Sources: One Molecule at a Time
Researchers at Penn State University are spearheading a multidisciplinary research effort to explore ways to produce bioethanol more efficiently from lignocellulose. Importantly, this is not corn ethanol; it is ethanol derived from corn stalks,...
Resonant Probe AFM: Uses and Advantages
A resonant probe atomic force microscope (AFM) offers capabilities and benefits not found in commonly used optical deflection AFMs in the measurement of physical constants, physical properties, and surface morphology. This article discusses resonant...
Is a DIY Microscope for You?
For some advanced microscopy and nanoscopy techniques it becomes necessary to modify existing instrumentation or build an instrument from scratch. This article helps readers determine whether a do-it-yourself (DIY) microscope is the appropriate...
Positioning at the Nanoscale (and Below): Trust in Proven Performance
Through a deep knowledge of sensing technologies, technically adept personnel, and experience across applications as diverse as astronomy to live cell imaging, Mad City Labs helps our customers develop cost-effective and high-performance solutions....
Advances in Precision Motion Control – Air Bearings and Piezo Flexures
Air Bearing Stages and Piezo Flexures Nanopositioning Stages – What to Use When? Both are on the leading edge of motion control. Whether it’s the vibration-free frictionless motion, geometric performance and repeatability of an air bearing or the...
Transforming XY Motion for Automated Microscopy
The SmartStage™ XY is the first of its kind high performance sample positioning stage where the motion controller, drive circuit, and encoder are ALL built-in. Eliminating multiple cables and external electronics allows for seamless integration,...
Nanopositioning! What is it good for?
This article explores the nuances of piezo nanopositioners, how they function, and the extent of their capability. We also examine how closed-loop feedback control can be applied to a piezo nanopositioner — significantly improving stability,...
4 Steps to Optimize the Optics in Automated Imaging Instruments
Optimize the performance and cost of your automated optical imaging system with 6 key equations for selecting an imaging sensor, objective lens, Z-focusing nano-positioning stage and XY sample positioning motion. Topics covered include: optimal...
Nanopositioning and Precision Motion Control: A Step Ahead
Nanopositioning mechanisms are key to progress in fields as diverse as materials science, genomics, photonics, defense, biophysics, and semiconductors. A nanopositioning mechanism is defined as a positioning device capable of nanometer or...
Extreme Metrology: Big Science Requires a Nano-perspective
Extreme metrology represents the cutting edge in technological demand from the material researchers, astronomers, and other physicists whose work demands nearly unattainable precision. Understanding the metrology loop means understanding not just...
Advances in Nanometer Precision Motion Control in Industry and Research
1) High performance motion control is key for automation and alignment applications, found in semiconductor manufacturing, laser/materials processing, optical inspection, or additive manufacturing. High-speed synchronization, high throughput and...
Custom vs. Off-the-Shelf Solutions: Are you dreaming big enough?
Custom positioning solutions provide more leeway for innovation, and at far less cost, than many customers realize. Irrespective of whether the goal is a one-off solution or multiple units for a wider industrial instrument, an evaluation of standard...
Close Is Not Close Enough: Micropositioners' Role In Nanopositioning
When working at the nanoscale, every input has seismic impact on the ability to view, position, or manipulate the object of their attention. Whether the application is in single-molecule spectroscopy, optical trapping, super-resolution microscopy,...
Advances in Precision Motion Control and Mechanisms
Part I: Improving Stage Accuracy with ACS Dynamic Error Compensation Even the best precision motion systems exhibit some amount of position error. These errors can be measured using external measurement devices, such as a laser interferometer, and...
