PI provides a large variety of fast objective lens positioners (Z-motors), as well as sample scanners for deconvolution and 3D imaging (Z-stack acquisition) and fast focusing stages.
PIFOC® piezo-actuated Z-scanners typically achieve 10 times higher focusing speed & precision than motorized drives.
