Eucentric 5 axis stage
The Kleindiek NanoTechnik E5AT eucentric stage is a five-axis positioning tool especially designed to allow tilting of specimens to ±90 degrees, while allowing unlimited rotation of the specimen and keeping the area of interest at the eucentric position.
Kleindiek E5AT eucentric stage:
- Five-axis movement around the eucentric point
- Highly precise positioning tool
- High accuracy with minimal drift
- No backlash or reversal play
Applications include:
- Electron Channel Contrast Imaging (ECCI)
- Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)
- Tomography
- Nanofabrication
- Any SEM or FIB application that requires eucentric repositioning of specimens
The system comprises a small four-axis substage mounted on a tilting platform. The substage offers a range of 10mm by 10mm in the X and Y directions and 3mm in the Z direction. Additionally, the rotational axis allows unlimited rotation of the specimen through 360 degrees. The tilting platform is fitted with a positional encoder with a resolution of 0.1 degrees.
