  • 200 μm closed loop travel range.
  • High-stiffness (1.3 N/µm) provides class-leading step settle performance. 20 µm (10 %) step sub-8 ms with 150 g load.
  • Stainless steel construction provides mechanical stiffness and temperature stability for fast movements and low drift.

It is compatible with most microscope models and objective lenses with user-configurable settings to accommodate different objective sizes and weights as well as performance needs. 

Designed for applications requiring high-speed, precision movements in the 200 µm range, it is ideal for high-throughput applications such as semiconductor inspection, autofocus systems for time-lapse imaging, high content screening and surface analysis.
