Thin radially polarised piezoelectric cylinders with four exterior electrodes and a continuous internal electrode make up piezoelectric tube scanners. The free end of the tube will bend in the direction of the applied voltage when a voltage is applied to one of the external electrodes.
Piezoelectric sensors transform a physical dimension into a force that acts on the sensor’s two opposite faces. Simply put, the sensors are able to pick up pressure changes caused by sound. They function to produce outcomes from the applied pressure with no external power source.
The charge generated across some materials when a mechanical stress is applied is known as piezoelectricity. By measuring the voltage across a piezoelectric element caused by the applied pressure, piezoelectric pressure sensors take advantage of this effect.
They are extremely durable and used in a variety of industrial applications. The advantages of the piezoelectric materials are their high sensitivity, high resonance frequency, high stability, etc.
Only an electrical reaction to dynamic mechanics can be produced by piezoelectric materials. The inability to perform fully static measurements makes piezoelectric materials less desirable.
The Global piezo objective scanner market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The PFM450E Piezo Objective scanner is made for quick Z-stack acquisition and precision focus adjustment. It avoids the relatively slow stepper motors built into microscopes in order to swiftly acquire scans of 3D volumes.
It is designed to be compatible with Thorlabs’ Bergamo II Multiphoton Microscopes, our Confocal Imaging System, our Cerna Microscopy Platform, and third-party microscopes.
Active compensation for short- and long-term drifts is made possible by the module’s built-in capacitive feedback sensors, which enable 1 nm resolution in open-loop operation and 3 nm resolution in closed-loop operation.
This piezo objective holder comfortably supports the large-field-of-view objectives typically used in multiphoton and confocal microscopy, with a clear aperture of up to 29.0 mm and a maximum load of 500 g .
The piezo stage is connected to the microscope and objective by separate adapters to make it simple to swap between objectives.
