For many years, Physik Instrumente (PI) products have been known for their high quality and innovative technology. From precision machining to digital and analog control circuits, from sub-nanometer capacitive position sensors to PICMA's original piezoelectric ceramic actuators, PI has a whole range of key technologies and technical strengths for the continuous advancement of micro- and nanopositioning technology. Imaging techniques are widely used in many fields, such as medical technology, pharmaceutical research and semiconductor manufacturing, and can significantly improve the efficiency of these fields. Optical measurement techniques such as interferometry and microscopy are widely used in automated processes. Ultrasonic and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques are ideal for a variety of visualization tasks. These methods and techniques require fast and precise drive systems, which in some applications must also be as compact as possible and extremely reliable even in strong magnetic fields. Piezoelectric drives, scanners and positioning systems are ideal for these requirements. At CMEF, PI will therefore present fast piezoelectric ceramic scanners for microstepping, nanometer stage systems in fluorescence microscopy, drivers and positioning systems for electron microscopy, as well as confocal microscopes for medical technology.
