Applications
Large-area XY sample scanning
Cover a slide or wafer in one plane without stacking two separate linear bodies.
Tiled image acquisition
Step through a mosaic grid where flatness across travel decides whether tiles stay in focus.
Microscope stage replacement
Retrofit a motorised XY plane onto an existing microscope frame.
Specifying this part
What this model has to survive, and what it needs around it
Millimetre XY under a heavy sample
Planar carriers take the load — above 10 kg in the larger versions — while covering millimetres in XY. The choice against an objective scanner is whether you would rather move a heavy specimen or the optic looking at it.
Vacuum and non-magnetic versions
Most of the range is orderable as .HV (high vacuum), .UHV (ultra-high vacuum) or .NM (non-magnetic). The suffix changes materials, cabling and bake compatibility rather than the mechanics, so specify it against the chamber the stage will live in.
Full series comparison, controller pairing and mounting hardware on the ambient piezo stages overview, or work through the selection with the configurator.
