  • Z-position motion stage for use in a scanning probe microscopy system, scan head and method of manufacturing
    Patent number: 11035879
    Abstract: The present document relates to a Z-position motion stage for use in a scanning probe microscopy system. The stage comprises a support element for mounting the z-position motion stage on a scan head, and at least one first actuator mounted on the support element for enabling motion of a probe of the scanning probe microscopy system. The probe is connected to or attachable to the z-position motion stage. The support element and the at least one first actuator are shaped and mounted such as to form a rotation symmetric element which is rotation symmetric around a notional common longitudinal axis. The document further relates to a scan head, a method of manufacturing a z-position motion stage, and a Z-position motion stage obtained with such a method.
