The DMA objective focus stage is a high-performance, direct-drive solution for microscope system builders and OEMs requiring rapid, accurate focus for high-magnification imaging.
The DMA is ideal for demanding, high-accuracy imaging applications including:
- Spatial Biology: Rapid Z-stacking for high-throughput spatial workflows.
- Digital Pathology & Cell Morphology: High-speed tile scanning with fast objective focusing.
- Drug Discovery: Reliable 24/7 operation for high content screening campaigns.
- Optical Metrology & Semiconductor Inspection: Precision positioning with 1 nm resolution optical encoders.
Technical Highlights:
- Exceptional Precision: Achieve 50 nm repeatability and 10 nm minimum incremental moves at one-third the cost of piezo alternatives.
- High Throughput: Maximize imaging efficiency with sub-15 ms move and settle times.
- Reliable Performance: Ensure long-term reliability with a non-contact direct-drive motor and 1 nm resolution linear encoder.
- Compact Footprint: Integrate easily into tight spaces with a 77 mm x 100 mm x 30.5 mm package, including the controller.
- Extended Travel: Utilize 10 mm of travel, higher than industry standard for this class.
- Adjustable Counterbalance: Accommodate payloads up to 1 kg with a user-tunable magnetic counterbalance.
