Frequently Asked Questions

The Carrier.OB100.C is ideal for applications requiring precise Z-axis positioning, such as automated microscopy, high-resolution imaging, laser scanning systems, optical metrology, and semiconductor inspection. Its sub-nanometer resolution and fast response make it particularly effective for autofocus and vertical stacking operations.

The scanner is available in high vacuum (.HV) and ultra-high vacuum (.UHV) versions, using materials and construction methods that are compatible with controlled environments. These versions are built with low outgassing components and specialized surface treatments to ensure reliability and cleanliness in sensitive setups.

The integrated capacitive sensor enables high-precision closed-loop control, maintaining a resolution of <1 nm and a linearity error of just 0.03%. This ensures consistent and repeatable motion, minimizing drift and hysteresis—especially critical for high-accuracy imaging or measurement tasks.

The Carrier.OB100.C is designed to be used with the Archimedes Series Motion Controller, which provides optimized control algorithms, fast data communication, and full support for closed-loop feedback. This controller ensures the stage operates smoothly and with minimal latency.

Yes, the Carrier.OB100.C comes with an RMS-threaded mount that is replaceable, allowing users to easily swap or upgrade the objective interface to suit various microscope types or optical components.
