Synchrotron
Challenge :
In order to perform microscopy and spectroscopy experiments achieving image resolution at the nm level it is necessary to control and maintain temperature , humidity and pressure as stable as possible over time . Mounting a complete system into a controlled environment is often limited by the dimension of the setup itself . Therefore , it is necessary to minimize the footprint and enhance the instrument performance to achieve a nanometer resolution . attocube ´ s solution :

Challenge :

In order to perform microscopy and spectroscopy experiments achieving image resolution at the nm level it is necessary to control and maintain temperature , humidity and pressure as stable as possible over time . Mounting a complete system into a controlled environment is often limited by the dimension of the setup itself . Therefore , it is necessary to minimize the footprint and enhance the instrument performance to achieve a nanometer resolution . attocube ´ s solution :

A combination of small sized piezo positioners and scanners provides the necessary millimeter travel range for alignment and imaging the sample with the required resolution . Using a laser interferometer as feedback allows the customer to monitor the motion with a resolution of 1pm ensuring nanometer precise closed-loop positioning .

Benefits :

• nanometer resolution
• harsh environment compatibility ( ultra high vacuum or radiation )
• limited footprint of only several square centimeters www . attocube . com
