Motion solutions for microscopy

Our motorized stages and micro linear actuators are the perfect match for microscope systems.

In fact, some might think they were developed specifically for microscopes, as they offer a wide range of microscopy-specific advantages.

Suitable for X, XY, XYZ or rotary applications.

✓ Compactness
✓ Speeds from 5 μm/s to 1 m/s
✓ Positioning up to 1 kHz
✓ Resolution up to 5 nm
✓ Silent operation

✓ Long lifetime
✓ Triggered readouts
✓ Holds position without power
✓ Backdrivable
✓ No magnetic field generation

Example applications

Sample positioning stages (XY / XYZ)
Focus adjustment (Z-axis)
Automated scanning
Probe positioning
Sample loading
Mirror and filter positioning
and more ...

Such positioning and scanning tasks are typical use cases for miniature linear actuators in scientific instruments.

Piezo stages and actuators for medical applications

Microscope motion, re-imagined

Miniature, high-resolution stages with unparalleled speeds: Based on our patented ultrasonic motor technology, our products offer performance and functionality uncomparable to alternative motion technology. Take your microscope design to the next level on multiple spectrums at once.

Unmatched versatility

From ultra-slow scanning with triggered readouts to high-frequency positioning and backdrivability: Our stages do it all, and they do so silently.

Stable under all conditions

The self-locking mechanism of the stages means no power is needed to hold the target position. In addition to low energy consumption, this mechanism results in zero position drift and excludes unwanted noise and vibration

For vacuum applications, we offer high vacuum (HV) and ultra high vacuum (UHV) models.

Made in Europe. Trusted globally.

Xeryon fills a niche we haven’t seen anywhere else. The combination of high dynamics, integrated encoder and holding force in such a lightweight, long-stroke actuator is unmatched. Any alternative would require multiple components and still fall short in accuracy and stability.

Chief Technology Officer

High-throughput tissue engineering company

The speed and precision of Xeryon’s actuators enabled us to significantly improve our microscope design and disrupt the market. Most importantly, it has allowed our customers to accelerate scientific discovery. It’s rare to achieve such a technological leap.

Director of R&D

Fluorescence microscope manufacturer

Our laser systems use a large number of motorized optics. After experiencing quality and delivery issues with our main supplier, we decided to give Xeryon a try. They have proven to be a reliable supplier, and we found their piezo actuators to be much more durable than the ones we used before.

Senior Optomechanical Designer

Ultrafast laser source manufacturer

At first, I found it hard to believe this level of performance could come from such a compact package. Xeryon’s technology was the only solution that made it possible to downsize our design and build the machine our company had envisioned, enabling the next generation of automated test equipment. Their team was also incredibly helpful in answering all of our integration questions.
