Customer Application

WITec integrates three of Zaber's T-LA28A-S linear actuators in their Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope alpha300 S for moving the inverted microscope's objective in three axis. An additional linear actuator is used for conveniently moving a filter slider. The T-LA28A-S gives a resolution of 100 nm, perfectly matching WITec's demanding requirements in high-resolution microscopy.

"We favour the Zaber actuators because they can be easily activated by our microscope control electronics and software also allowing to excellently connect several actuators in one system." — WITec GmbH
