MIPOS 100

MIPOS 100 – Description

The objective lens positioning system MIPOS 100 was developed for finely adjusting micro objectives and object lenses. The maximum motion is 100µm. The resolution of MIPOS 100 is very high and, in practice, only limited by the voltage noise of the power supply.

All standard threads for Zeiss, Leica, Nikon, Olympus etc. are available for the top and bottom sides of the MIPOS 100.

Mounting this system onto the microscope is very easy – screw the Flex-Adapter thread ring into the microscope and mount the lens positioning system on this ring with the screw. Because of the small size, no other threads beside the MIPOS are blocked.

A special version enables to work in an upside down (UD) position on inverted microscopes. These MIPOS systems are designated by “UD”. To avoid drift and hysteresis, the MIPOS is also available with an integrated strain gauge measurement system (“SG”). “PL” versions are pre-loaded.

MIPOS 20

MIPOS 20 – Description

The piezoelectric objective lens positioning system MIPOS series were developed for finely adjusting microscope objectives and object lenses. The maximum motion for the MIPOS 20 is 20 µm. The resolution in practice is only limited by the voltage noise of the power supply.

All standard threads for Zeiss, Leica, Olympus, Nikon, Mitutoyo etc. are available for the top and bottom sides of the MIPOS series.

Mounting this system onto the microscope is very easy – screw the Flex-Adapter thread ring into the microscope and mount the MIPOS on this ring with a clamping screw. Because of the small size of the objective positioner, no other objective threads are blocked.

To counteract drift and hysteresis, the piezoelectric objective lens positioning system MIPOS elements are also available with an integrated strain gauge measurement system “SG”.
