Positioning (Manual)

The ability to precisely move the sample across the horizontal plane (under the compression axis) is a great advantage in various experimental configurations. Ideally, one will go for the mechanically-controlled option where the stages could be positioned through the motion software. However, to reduce the overall cost of the system (or for applications where compact actuators are required), many researchers will opt for manual positioners. Our manual positioners (X or XY stacking) are available with two travel range options (either 50 or 100 mm) and two displacement resolutions (screw or vernier micrometer with 10 microns graduation).
