Lift-off-tool
High Precision X- Y-Z- R- (T) Module
The module shown in this photograph can be used for a number of applications. Especially TEM-Lamella “Lift-out” but also any kind of nano manipulation can be done with this Module.
X = 20 mm, Y = 20 mm, Z = 5mm,
R = unlimited, T = ± 10° mm (manual tilt variation).
Larger coverage or additional axes upon request.
Due to incorporated linear encoders the actual position of the manipulator is known at any time. This provides a tremendous adventage while approaching the needle to the point of interest. Further positions can be stored and re-called at user disposal.
Once the height between the specimen and the needle tip is known, multiple approach to the same or even different point of interests can be done safely and easily.
Due to the strictly orthogonal mechanical arrangement of the cross table axes, fatigueless and intuitive working is assured.
