The systems of the MIPOS 500 series offer a nano-positioning and scanning range up to 500 µm in open-loop operation, and 400 µm in closed-loop. They can be assembled with objectives that have a diameter of up to 40 mm.

Parallelogram design guarantees high parallel motion without influencing the optical path. The precise positioning repeatability of the MIPOS 500 series can be guaranteed by the use of the optional integrated measurement system. The design includes an integrated pre-load of the actuator that offers high resonant frequency and highly parallel motion – and is available in an upside-down version for inverted microscopes.

Due to the unique features of the MIPOS 500 series, fast scanning applications can be accurately realized with the shortest settling times.

This nanoMIPOS offers a nano-positioning and scanning range up to 400 µm in open-loop operation, as well as 320 µm in closed-loop. The system can be assembled with objectives of up to 39 mm in diameter.

The sophisticated monolithic guidance design, consisting of solid flexure hinges, means the trajectory is free of mechanical play and friction – a feature offered by all piezosystem jena stages.

The advanced nanoMIPOS 400 design is FEA optimized to show an outstanding minimum of lateral and rotational offset, as well as excellent guidance accuracy, while offering robustness against off center and lateral loads.

To avoid drift and hysteresis, the nanoMIPOS 400 can be equipped with a capacitive measurement system. In combination with the piezosystem jena controller, this system offers high stability, linearity, repeatability and accuracy in closed loop operation.

The piezo focus positioner MIPOS 250 was developed for finely adjusting micro objectives and object lenses. The maximum motion is 250 µm. The resolution of the MIPOS 250 is very high, and in practice only limited by the voltage noise of the power supply.

All kinds of standard threads for Zeiss, Leica, Nikon, Olympus etc. are available for the top and bottom sides of the MIPOS system. Mounting this system onto the microscope is very easy – screw the Flex-Adapter thread ring into the microscope and mount the MIPOS 250 for piezo focus fine adjustment on this ring with a screw. Because of the small size, no other threads beside the MIPOS are blocked.

To avoid drift and hysteresis, there is the option of equipping the MIPOS with an integrated strain gauge measurement system “SG”. And, the MIPOS 250 can be used in inverse microscopes – upside down.

The objective lens positioning system MIPOS 100 was developed for finely adjusting micro objectives and object lenses. The maximum motion is 100µm. The resolution of MIPOS 100 is very high and, in practice, only limited by the voltage noise of the power supply.

All standard threads for Zeiss, Leica, Nikon, Olympus etc. are available for the top and bottom sides of the MIPOS 100.

Mounting this system onto the microscope is very easy – screw the Flex-Adapter thread ring into the microscope and mount the lens positioning system on this ring with the screw. Because of the small size, no other threads beside the MIPOS are blocked.

A special version enables to work in an upside down (UD) position on inverted microscopes. These MIPOS systems are designated by “UD”. To avoid drift and hysteresis, the MIPOS is also available with an integrated strain gauge measurement system (“SG”). “PL” versions are pre-loaded.

The piezoelectric objective lens positioning system MIPOS series were developed for finely adjusting microscope objectives and object lenses. The maximum motion for the MIPOS 20 is 20 µm. The resolution in practice is only limited by the voltage noise of the power supply.

All standard threads for Zeiss, Leica, Olympus, Nikon, Mitutoyo etc. are available for the top and bottom sides of the MIPOS series.

Mounting this system onto the microscope is very easy – screw the Flex-Adapter thread ring into the microscope and mount the MIPOS on this ring with a clamping screw. Because of the small size of the objective positioner, no other objective threads are blocked.

To counteract drift and hysteresis, the piezoelectric objective lens positioning system MIPOS elements are also available with an integrated strain gauge measurement system “SG”.
