PZ-2000FT Series XYZ Automated Stage with Piezo Z-Axis Top Plate
About the PZ-2000FT
The PZ-2000FT series is an integrated top-plate option available for many of our XY stages. When paired with our control electronics, it provides a fast, high resolution, and highly repeatable means of controlling focus for 3D samples. Because the PZ-2000FT replaces the standard top-plate of the stage, it still accepts standard K-style sample inserts for slides, various Petri dishes, multiwell plates, etc. With travel ranges of 120 mm x 75 mm and more, three stacks of piezo elements move 150, 300, or 500 μm with near nanometer accuracy.

PZ-2000FT Features
- Flat stage top allows easy placement of micromanipulators on either side
- Closed-loop control of the X-, Y-, and Z-axes for precise positioning and highly repeatable focusing
- Wide dynamic speed range with adjustable trapezoidal move profiles
- Smooth adjustable dual-range joystick control
- Travel range will scan full well plate in most circumstances
- Proven operation with many software packages
PZ-2000Ft Specifications for Standard Configuration
PZ-2000FT Options
- X- and Y-axes linear encoders for high-accuracy positioning. Linear encoder resolution is 10 nm, with a scale accuracy of 0.3 μm per 10 mm and 3 μm per 100 mm. Positioning resolution at sample is < 50 nm.
- Auto focus (requires NTSC or PAL composite video signal).
- ASI’s proven line of Z-axis drives can also be added to the fine focus shaft of the microscope to provide Z-axis positioning with a resolution of 50 nm throughout the range of the microscope’s travel. The piezo unit can then be used for fast and accurate Z-axis positioning to any point within the range of travel.
- Other lead screw pitches are available for faster XY translation, or for more precise positioning when using standard rotary encoders.
