ZABER TECHNOLOGIES

WITec GmbHwww.witec.deWITec is a manufacturer of high performance optical and scanning probe microscopysystems solutions for scientific and industrial applications. A modular product line allowsthe combination of different microscopy techniques such as Raman, NSOM, or AFM in oneinstrument for flexible analyses of optical, chemical, and structural properties of a sample.The instruments are distributed worldwide and are mainly used in materials sciences,life sciences, and nanotechnology. WITec Headquarters are based in Ulm, Germany, andSavoy, IL, USA.Customer SpotlightWe integrate three Zaber T-LA28A-S actuators in our Scanning Near-Field OpticalMicroscope alpha 300 S for moving the inverted microscope’s objective in three axes.An additional actuator is used for conveniently moving a filter slider. The T-LA28A-S givesus a resolution of 100 nm, perfectly matching our demanding requirements in highresolutionmicroscopy.We favour the Zaber actuators because they can be easily activated by our microscopecontrol electronics and software, and because we can easily connect several actuators inone system.38– WITec GmbH
