Piezo nanomotion technology can achieve high precision motion control at nanometer scale. In optical microscopy applications, piezo nanomotion devices can perform sample control, scanning, beam alignment and auto-focusing operations, greatly improving the resolution and accuracy of the microscope, so as to achieve more accurate sample observation and analysis, and provide more advanced and efficient experimental instruments for research in medical, biological, materials and chemistry fields.
With the in-depth exploration of microscopic imaging technology, mesoscopic in vivo microscopy has come out, which can be regarded as a "super microscope". Different from the traditional light microscope which can only observe a single cell, it can observe the large-scale and diversified cell interaction behavior in mammalian living tissue in a panoramic, dynamic and long-term way. It will show broad application prospects in neuroscience, immunology, pharmacy and other fields.
Note: The picture comes from the Internet
The "super microscope" mainly consists of an optical system and a computational imaging chip, and the piezo nanopositioning technology can be applied in the optical system. Lights will distort when passing through the cell, and there is also insufficient focusing accuracy, so the use of piezo nanopositioning products can adjust the light path, focus, etc., and accurately project the light projected on the sample to the computational imaging chip, and also adjust the focus on the sample at different depths, and then restore the perfect image through powerful computing power.
