Description: The MicroBlock is a versatile, low-cost, independent, three-axis nanopositioning stage developed to meet the stringent requirements needed for aligning fiber optics. The stage features a nominal working platform height of 62.5 mm and provides a common optical-axis height of 75 mm with a wide range of accessories.
The MicroBlock is ideal for aligning single-mode fibers and can be mounted directly on an optical table, breadboard, or other surface with a 25-mm/1-inch or 50-mm/2-inch hole matrix.
The top-mounting platform may be rotated through 90 degrees so that the user can arrange two MicroBlocks with respect to one another (or other positioners), locating the x-y-z drives to give the most convenient access.
This unit has the following features:
75-mm optical axis height
No friction or stiction
Increased stability and stiffness
Minimal thermal drift
