PI (Physik Instrumente) LP, a leading manufacturer of nanopositioning and piezo-based precision motion-control equipment for bio- and nanotechnology, photonics and semiconductor applications, introduces a new ultrahigh-resolution positioning and scanning system.

The minute P-363 PicoCube, together with its ultralow noise E-536 driver/controller, provides significantly higher resolution and positional stability than previous multiaxis scanning stages.

Features and Advantages:

High-speed XYZ scanner for AFM/SPM (atomic force microscopy/scanning probe microscopy) and manipulation tool for nanotechnology
Custom, high-stiffness shear piezo drives provide up to 10 kHz resonant frequency for faster response and higher scanning performance
Ultralow noise controller enables 25 pm (0.025 nm) resolution
Capacitive feedback for exceptional precision and linearity
Parallel metrology for better multiaxis accuracy
Small and rugged design with titanium case
Vacuum-compatible typical applications: AFM/SPM and nanomanipulation, biotechnology, nanotechnology, nano-imprint, semiconductor and data-storage test equipment

The new ultralow-noise E-536 closed-loop controller provides unprecedented positional stability and can be controlled with analog or digital signals. Extensive software support including LabView drivers is provided.
