In the microscopic world, every focus is an exploration. In the biological laboratory, researchers are attempting to capture the moment of rapid signal transmission between neurons. In the materials science research laboratory, scientists need to precisely scan the 3D structure of nanomaterials. On the semiconductor inspection line, engineers must ensure that the microstructure of each chip is clearly visible. The common demand for these scenarios is: fast, precise and stable objective lens focusing. When traditional adjustment methods struggle to balance accuracy and speed, N56 piezo motor offers a new solution for objective lens adjustment.
Why Do We Choose Piezo Motor ?
Piezo motor is based on the inverse piezo effect and is a high-precision motion control platform that can precisely convert electrical signals into mechanical displacement. It is driven by piezo ceramics and can achieve nanometer-level positioning accuracy and rapid response that are difficult for traditional motors to reach. The positioning accuracy and displacement resolution of the piezo motor can both reach nanometer level, and the repeatability can also be maintained at nanometer level. It features outstanding dynamic performance and fast response, which can help achieve rapid and high-precision motion control and is compatible with various applications.
I. Objective Lens Adjustment for Precise Focusing
The core requirements for objective lens adjustment have always been "precision, speed and stability". Whether it is nanoscale focusing in scientific research scenarios or rapid alignment in industrial inspection; Whether it is experimental focusing in regular environments or special applications in vacuum scenarios, the core features of the N56 can precisely match the requirements of objective lens adjustment, achieving a perfect fit between product characteristics and application demands.
1. Nanometer-Level High Precision
The core objective of objective lens adjustment is to achieve nanometer-level precise focusing and alignment, especially in the combined systems of super-resolution microscopes, laser confocal microscopes, and atomic force microscopes. The focusing accuracy directly determines the imaging resolution and the accuracy of experimental data. The N56 closed-loop version uses grating sensors for real-time feedback and can achieve nanometer-level positioning accuracy.
2. Flexible Travel Range
Different types of objective lenses and different application scenarios have varying requirements for adjusting travel and dimensions: conventional biological microscope objective lenses need short-travel fine focusing, while high-end optical inspection equipment requires long-travel adjustment. In some scenarios, both XY-axis alignment and Z-axis focusing need to be achieved simultaneously. N56 features 1-3 axis free combination options and a maximum 50mm travel, which can flexibly adapt to various demands, significantly enhancing equipment utilization and simplifying the overall design of the optical systems.
3. Convenient Mounting
N56 is equipped with a standard objective lens adapter frame and multi-hole installation interfaces, which can directly adapt to most standard objective lenses on the market and be compatible with mainstream brand interfaces. No additional processing is required. It can quickly complete the loading of objective lenses and equipment installation, significantly shortening the equipment debugging cycle and improving work efficiency.
4. Adapt to Extreme and Special Scenarios
Many objective lens adjustment scenarios have special requirements: for instance, microscopic imaging in vacuum environment, custom objective lenses of special sizes, and adjustment requirements for unconventional travel. N56 supports custom service. The vacuum version can operate stably in a vacuum environment, providing reliable support for special scientific research scenarios.
5. Stable and Reliable
The optical system is extremely sensitive to changes in external factors such as vibration. N56 features no hysteresis, low vibration, and low heat generation, which can prevent interference with optical imaging. The power-off self-locking function can ensure the stable position of the objective lens after adjustment, providing dual protection for the safety of the objective lens and the sample, and enhancing the safety and reliability of using the equipment.
II. Flexible Application in Multiple Scenarios
The design of the N56 piezo motor in objective lens adjustment takes into account wide applicability and can meet the precise focusing requirements of different fields.
