Description
The Carrier.OB050.C objective scanner from MultiFields is a high-precision Z-axis piezo stage engineered for demanding microscopy and autofocusing applications. With a travel range of 50 µm and a closed-loop resolution of less than 1 nm, this stage delivers ultra-fine positioning accuracy, making it ideal for high-resolution imaging systems. The stage features a fast 10 ms settling time (90%) and a capacitive sensor for exceptional linearity and stability (linearity error < 0.02%).
Constructed with stainless steel and aluminum alloy for durability and stability, the Carrier.OB050.C supports payloads up to 500 g while maintaining performance with a resonance frequency of 600 Hz (unloaded) and 300 Hz (with 150 g load). It integrates seamlessly with the MC-Archimedes Series motion controller for precise and responsive motion control.
The Carrier.OB050.C is also available in optional versions tailored for non-magnetic (.NM), high vacuum (.HV), and ultra-high vacuum (.UHV) environments, offering maximum versatility for advanced scientific and industrial settings. Whether for laser scanning microscopy, semiconductor metrology, or automated focus control, this compact and powerful piezo scanner sets a new standard in Z-axis motion.
