Extremely Cost-Efficient and Compact Linear Actuator for Open-Loop Operation The extremely cost-efficient and compact P-604 lever actuator supplements the portfolio of the PiezoMove®
range of 300µm and is exclusively designed for open-loop operation. The P-604 PiezoMove®
linear actuator features properties that make it ideal for OEM ap-plications in optics,
medicine, biotechnology and microfluidics: It is designed for a particularly cost-effective production of large quantities and its installation space is kept to a minimum (19.5mm x 13mm x 4.1mm).
multilayer piezo actuators are the driving force of the P-604-type lever actuators. They have an all-ceramic encapsulation that makes them extremely robust and durable.
PICMA®
Well-known for the high quality of their products, PI is one of the leading players in the global market for precision positioning technology. PI has been developing and manufac-turing standard and OEM products with piezo or motor drives for 40 years now. With four German factories and ten subsidiaries and sales offices abroad, the PI group is repre-sented internationally.

Launch of High Performance Atomic Force Microscope
Asylum Research announces the new MFP-3D Origin Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The MFP-3D Origin is at the intersection of performance and affordability in the Asylum Research MFP-3D™ AFM family. The MFP-3D Origin features the technical excellence, innovation, and world-class customer support that is the trademark of every Asylum AFM. With full upgrade potential to the MFP-3D and its complete range of accessories, the MFP-3D Origin is the best place to start with atomic force microscopy.
The MFP-3D Origin is based on the technology-leading MFP-3D AFM, known for closed-loop precision, high-resolution imaging, and low-noise force measurements. The MFP-3D Origin offers far more than just the basic scan modes. It includes many advanced modes– nanolithography, Dual AC™ Mode, and piezoresponse force microscopy. Additional advanced functionality is easy to add for optional modes such as conductive AFM, AM-FM Viscoelastic Mapping for nanomechanical analysis, scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), and scanning thermal microscopy (SThM).
As your research grows, so can the MFP-3D Origin’s capabilities. The MFP-3D Origin can easily be upgraded to the full MFP-3D to take advantage of the numerous environmental and advanced application accessories. In addition, the MFP-3D Origin carries a full two year warranty – the best warranty in its class. It’s a smart investment in a proven AFM platform that will serve you well for years to come.

Time-Resolved Single Photon Counting Measurement Option Introduced
At Pittcon 2013 WITec launched StrobeLock, a time-correlated single photon counting measurement option. The imaging modes include Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging and Time-resolved Luminescence Microscopy, which can be integrated with the WITec alpha300 and alpha500 microscope series. StrobeLock facilitates the acquisition of additional material contrasts hidden in the time function of a fluorescence or luminescence signal and allows them to be perfectly linked with Raman, SNOM or AFM imaging. It enables a variety of measurement possibilities for an improved and more comprehensive understanding of a sample’s properties and is specifically suited for materials science.
The modular design of the WITec microscopes facilitates user-friendly combination of the StrobeLock module with the WITec confocal microscope series. StrobeLock is comprised of a pulsed excitation laser system combined with a Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting (TCSPC) detector. The possibility to switch between time-resolved and conventional mode enables the microscope user to conveniently choose the preferred measurement technique.
“StrobeLock complements the modular WITec microscope systems with customised solutions for the most accurate Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging and Time-Resolved Luminescence Microscopy.” said Dr Joachim Koenen, WITec co-founder and Managing Director “This exceptional development significantly extends the capabilities of the WITec microscope series and opens a new field of application for a more comprehensive sample characterisation.”
