Areas of Application in science and technology
attocube offers an extensive portfolio of nanopositioning devices optimized for a broad range of application areas . The piezo drives realize the most challenging positioning tasks in cutting edge research applications , as well as in industrial fields where they are e . g . successfully utilized for the nanometer accurate alignment of optical and mechanical components .
Microscopy
The ever increasing spatial resolution demands for always more precise positioning solutions . While simple optical microscopes are well equipped with manual micrometer screws , automated systems as well as scanning probe microscopes such as SEM , TEM or AFM require the best linear nanopositioners available to max out their capabilities . attocube ‘ s linear stages are the perfect choice for these applications .
Scanning Probe Imaging
Local measurements adding additional information to the bulk properties require sample and / or probe adjustment down to the atomic scale . Piezo-driven slip-stick positioners may be combined with our smooth-motion scanners to achieve large ranges with highest resolution and stability .
Nanomanipulation
Production methods have to keep up with the miniaturization . That ‘ s where nanomanipulators come into play . As different applications require different setups , flexibility is key . All our positioners are easy to combine and offer an almost infinite number of different positioning setups .
