Microscopy

Our products are being used in different kind of microscopes, like:

              Light Microscopy

   Scanning Electron Microscopy

                                     

Scanning Probe Microscopy

Typical tasks for SmarAct positioners and manipulators are:

  • Sample positioning
  • Positioning of detectors and emitters
  • Manipulators to move tools, samples and equipment

Light-Microscopy

Within the field of optical microscopes SmarAct positioning systems can be implemented for various tasks, like:

  • Microscope stages
  • Micromanipulators    
    • Handling
    • Injection
    • Testing
  • Precise alignment
  • Autofocus

Scanning-Probe-Microscopy (SPM)

For SPMs our products are used at different levels, like:

  • Scanning of probes or samples
  • Positioning of samples
  • Positioning of probes
  • Adjustment and alignment

The strong miniaturisation and very high precision allows the implementation of new microscope concepts.

Scanning-Electron-Microscopy

For the use of SmarAct positioniers and manipulators inside the chamber of your SEM or FIB we offer plenty of solutions:

Stages to move samples within the vacuum chamber

Sub-stage - on top of
an SEM or FIB stage

 

 

Chamber-mounted - either at the walls or attached to the ceiling

 

 

Flange-mounted - allows to easily remove / exchange the manipulator

Typical applications within the chamber of an SEM or FIB are:

  • Positioning of samples under the beam
  • Positioning of detectors
  • Manipulation of samples (bending, indenting, scratching, gripping, etc.)
