Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between the Carrier.S200.xy.C and Carrier.S200.xyz.C models?
The Carrier.S200.xy.C model provides motion in the X and Y axes with a travel range of 200 µm × 200 µm, making it ideal for planar scanning applications. The Carrier.S200.xyz.C model adds motion in the Z-axis as well, offering full 3D positioning capability with a travel range of 200 µm × 200 µm × 200 µm, which is particularly useful for applications requiring vertical adjustment, such as volumetric imaging or 3D sample manipulation.
What kind of position feedback system is integrated in this scanner?
The Carrier.S200 series incorporates high-precision capacitive sensors for closed-loop feedback. This sensor type offers sub-nanometer resolution (<2 nm), excellent stability, and minimal drift, ensuring reliable and accurate positioning during high-precision operations like super-resolution microscopy.
Can the Carrier.S200 be used in vacuum or non-magnetic environments?
Yes, the Carrier.S200 series supports optional configurations for non-magnetic (.NM) and ultra-high vacuum (.UHV) environments. These versions are specifically designed for compatibility with sensitive instrumentation used in vacuum chambers or magnetically shielded systems.
What is the effective through-hole size, and why is it important?
The Carrier.S200 scanner features an effective through-hole size of 77 mm × 65 mm, allowing large samples, objectives, or light paths to pass through the center. This design is particularly important for optical systems and microscopes that require central alignment or direct light transmission through the stage.
Is the scanner compatible with other motion platforms or mounts?
Yes, the Carrier.S200 series is designed to be compatible with the Carrier.L7550.XY mounting platform, enabling easy integration into modular setups or multi-axis positioning systems. This flexibility makes it well-suited for laboratories that require expandable and customizable motion solutions.
