NPS-Z-15A Ultra Low Drift 15 Micron Stage

The NPS-Z-15A is a piezo-scanned flexure guided stage with integrated capacitance position sensors.

It is capable of sub-nanometer resolution and reproducibility.

This stage has been designed to have extremely low angular deviation from the axis of travel; it is ideal for use in scanning probe microscope tips and other applications where sideways motion is not tolerable.
