Z-Stack Imaging & Focusing: Faster with Piezo Nanopositioners
PIFOC® nanopositioners for microscopy are piezo-actuated Z-scanners that achieve typically 10 times higher focusing speed & precision than motorized drives and thus provide higher-quality images faster.

Scanning the Objective
The compact, light and stiff objective scanner design provides very fast response and does not disturb the sample.
