Papers on PI Products in Microscopy Applications
- Stabilization of an optical microscope to 0.1 nm in three dimensions. Ashley R. Carter, Gavin M. King, Thomas T. Perkins et al, JILA, University of Colorado and National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Co. Features a P-517 Closed-Loop XYZ Piezo Stage and an E-710.P3D high-speed digital piezo controller.
- Confocal ratiometric imaging reveals reason for poor chromatography separations. A high resolution XY flexure nanopostitioning stage and a PIFOC® objective stepper are employed to ensure that the spatial resolution of the images was determined by optics and not by stage movement.
