Available in X/XY/XYZ configurations, NPX linear stages use frictionless guide design. Multi-axis XY and XYZ devices utilize parallel motion principle, ensuring parallel and straight motion up to 400 micron travel. Mounted between microscope and objectives, NPO NanoFocusing stages allow up to 250 micron focusing range. NPA Translators can generate forces up to 1,000 N, while PSM Ultrafast Piezo Steering Mirror provides sub-microradian resolution, tip, tilt, and z-motion for optics.
