The FOC are nanopositioners dedicated to microscope objective accurate positioning. They are offered with 100, 200 or 300 microns of travel. The FOC is used in a wide range of applications : Z-stack, automated focus or together with automated thermal expansion compensation (for example CRISP from ASI Imaging). It is made from aluminium and brass, and is equipped with sensor offering stability in the picometer level.
