NanoScan OP800


Nanopositioning Piezo Objective Scanner With 800 µm Range

The NanoScan OP800 piezo-driven objective positioner is compatible with most commercial and customized microscopes. The stage features an M32 objective thread as standard with a wide range of adapters available.  

Settings for inverted or upright operation and load capacity are set during manufacture and can be further tuned in the field to optimize for specific applications.

The OP800 provides the fastest step and settle time of any piezo-driven objective positioner with a range of up to 800 µm. It features capacitive feedback sensors that ensure exceptional repeatability and resolution

With its long travel range, it is especially suitable for whole organism, lightsheet, and multiphoton microscopy.

0-500 g load as standard: a high load version (up to 1000 g) is available. 


    • Stainless steel body providing greater mechanical stiffness for speed, load capacity and temperature stability
    • Flexure guided system with capacitive sensors provides high repeatability, exceptional linearity and faster cycle times
    • Connectors with built in stage calibration provide plug and play electronics
    • Tested to function for greater than 10 million full range cycles
    • 800 µm travel range ideal for demanding microscopy applications
