Product news

A new 180 page catalog on precision motorized positioning stages and motion control equipment for vacuum and UHV environments is available from PI miCos. Vacuum environments are required for many of today's leading edge applications in fields as diverse as semiconductor test & manufacturing, X-ray spectrometry, high energy physics, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and astronomy / aerospace.

PI and PI miCos provide extensive expertise in designing, manufacturing and preparing precision positioning systems for vacuum environments. Motorized linear stages, rotation stages, piezo positioners and actuators as well as 6-axis parallel kinematic positioners (hexapods) are offered in different levels of vacuum preparation, from fine vacuum (10-3 torr) to UHV (10-10 torr). Additionally, complex custom motion systems and instrumentation for extreme applications, such as found in beam-lines and synchrotrons are also available.

The catalog explains technical terms, the different preparation steps and the equipment used for testing in addition to listing product specifications and drawings.

X-Ray Diffraction and SpectroscopyX-Ray diffraction & spectroscopy are used in material characterization to discern the structure and elemental composition of a sample. X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.

Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.

Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
