PI Launches New Web Site

AUBURN, Mass., Feb. 10, 2006 -- PI, a manufacturer of nanopositioning and piezo-based precision motion-control equipment for photonics, semiconductor and life science applications, has launched a redesigned Web site, at http://www.pi.ws/en offers downloads of product and tutorial pages for PI technology, including nNanopositioning/scanning stages, scanning microscopy stages, piezo Linear motors and actuators, steering mirrors, mirror shifters, piezo motion controllers, motorized stages and actuators, motor controllers and hexapod six-axis alignment systems.
Selection guides and application sections help visitors find products easily, and a Piezo University section explains how piezoelectrics are used in nanopositioning systems.

There are 279 suppliers of Microscopy in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

nanopositioning: Nanopositioning refers to the precise and controlled movement or manipulation of objects or components at the nanometer scale. This technology enables the positioning of objects with extremely high accuracy and resolution, typically in the range of nanometers or even sub-nanometer levels. Nanopositioning systems are employed in various scientific, industrial, and research applications where ultra-precise positioning is required. Key features and aspects of nanopositioning include: Small...
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
