X-DMA-AEZ Series

Objective nanopositioning stage with built-in controller

  • 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.
