Piezo Upgrades for Microscopy: MIPOS Objective Positioners and Sample Stages
The alignment of a microscope objective and sample demands precise and rapid movements. Based on the inverse piezoelectric effect, products by piezosystem jena offer unique technical characteristics compared to other solutions on the market. They are characterized by almost unlimited refinement of motion while avoiding mechanical play. Thus, they are completely resistant to internal friction.
piezosystem jena has long served OEMs and partners in the microscopy industry by consistently creating and adapting piezo actuators for specific customer needs.
The piezosystem jena MIPOS objective positioners provide up to 600 microns of z-motion with sub-nm resolution. The movement of the MIPOS is characterized by its precisely parallel movement within the optical axis. Additionally, these objective positioners can accommodate lenses from all of the most popular manufacturers including:
- Zeiss
- Nikon
- Leica
- Olympus
A unique feature of MIPOS objective positioners is their extremely high stiffness. This allows for them to be configured for inverted actuation.
MIPOS Objective Positioner
To move an objective in more than just the z-direction, a 3-axis solution for you in the form of our TRITOR ® 102, a 3-axis stage with available threading for your objective. The TRITOR ® 102 provides up to 100 microns of motion in x, y, and z, all with nanometer resolution.
Lastly, if you are looking to move your sample rather than your objective, then we have a wide variety of stages that can accomplish whatever your needs may be. Our stages can achieve up to 5 axes of motion, can come with central apertures for inverted microscopy, and can be used in vacuum or cyrogenic conditions.
MIPOS piezo positioners can be used with:
- Simple Microscopes
- Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM)
- Confocal Microscopes
- Inverted Microscopes
- STED Microscopy
- Fluorescence Microscopy
- STORM Imaging
- Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM)
- White Light Interferometry

FAQ
MIPOS 可以倒過來安裝嗎？
可以。MIPOS 物鏡定位器的一項獨特之處是極高的剛性，因此也適合採倒置方式安裝及驅動。它沿光軸做精確的直線運動，Z 軸行程最高 600 µm、次奈米解析度。
物鏡需要在 Z 軸以外的方向動，有什麼選擇？
TRITOR® 102，一款提供物鏡相容安裝螺紋的三軸平台，X、Y、Z 三軸行程均可達 100 µm，全部具備奈米級解析度。
要動的是樣品而不是物鏡呢？
有多樣化的平台可選：最多 5 軸運動、可配置中央開孔以用於倒置顯微鏡，也能用於真空或低溫環境。MIPOS 本身則可搭配一般光學顯微鏡、SEM、共軛焦、STED、STORM、AFM 與白光干涉儀等設備。
