BIO3
The BIO3 is a 3 axis ultra-low profile nanopositioner designed to be integrated in any kind of inverted microscopes. Microscope slides can fit in its rectangular aperture. This piezostage can be combined with a coarse positionning Microstage (See our Hybrid System)
The standard BIO3 is made of aluminium but for Bruker AFM upgrade, the BIO3.100 (100µm version) is available in Invar, which allows higher thermal stability.
