Dithering stages aid resolution
enhancement
Two new high-speed x-y dithering stages are designed for use in resolution enhancement and scanning applications.
Nanopositioning specialist PI (Physik Instrumente) introduces the new P-713 and P-714 high-speed x-y dithering stages for resolution enhancement and scanning applications These low-cost, piezo-driven stages feature a very high resonant frequency of 2.2kHz for millisecond response

Dithering stages enable resolution enhancement
PI offers the high-speed, low-cost P-713 and P-714 x-y-dithering stages for resolution enhancement and scanning applications.
The parallel kinematic design ensures that the resonant frequency is the same in both axes.
Ideal applications for the P-713 and P-714 are high-dynamics scanning and tracking tasks.
Integrated piezoelectric drives provide subnanometre resolution, important for high-resolution interlacing applications where the optical resolution of a CCD or CMOS sensor is increased by shifting it at high frequency between pixel positions.
The stages feature a very low profile of only 6mm and can also be used in scanning microscopy applications or in static nanopositioning.
The P-713 and P-714 are driven by PI's award wining PICMA ceramic coated piezo actuators.
A range of standard and low cost OEM electronics is available to control these stages. Request a free brochure from PI (Physik Instrumente) ...
