Countdown to Photonex 2014 – only 4 weeks to go!
Next month sees the opening of Photonex 2014 – the showcase light and imaging exhibition and conference. Coventry City’s Ricoh Arena is once again the venue, and Elliot Scientific will be there on Stand B10.
We will be displaying the Mad City Labs nanopositioning range, our own portfolio of Elliot|Martock micropositioning systems and accessories, and other piezo-driven systems from mechOnics.
Lasers from IPG Photonics, Integrated Optics, and FEMTOLASERS will be on show, along with Honeywell Sperian and NoIR Laser protective eyewear. In addition, the latest version of the popular laser-driven plasma light source from Energetiq will be demonstrated alongside Spatial Light Modulators and diffractive optics from Holoeye.
We look forward to welcoming you to our stand on October 15th or 16th, where you will also discover an exciting new range of products we are introducing.
For information about the Show, visit the Photonex website.

New DSP50 Multiphase Linear Stage from mechOnics
The new mechOnics DSP50 linear stage, designed for the latest generation of NOVA-controllers, can handle up to 16 N blocking force over a travel range of 10 mm.
In conjunction with its specialist multi-phase controller, the stage can operate at a speed of up to 1 mm/s and offer an extremely uniform movement due to the use of multiple piezo inertia drives.
The linear stage is available as a single, dual or three-axis positioning system with a precision of 1 nm and high repeatability courtesy of its optical movement sensor. A vacuum ready model is available to order.
The outstanding precision and very compact design offers advantages in many applications, so do contact us for more details about this or other mechOnics products.
Elliot Scientific at DPG – Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft – in Berlin next week
Elliot Scientific will be joining our German distributor Mountain Photonics GmbH at the 78th Annual Meeting of the DPG – Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft – in Berlin. We will be demonstrating our Elliot|Martock range of Flexure Stages, precision miniature slides, and accessories.
The event takes place over three days, from the 18th to the 20th March at Berlin’s Humboldt University.
The exhibition section of the conference will also feature FEMTOLASERS Produktions, mechOnics, and Nufern.
Location: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, 10117 Berlin
Photonex UK and InterOpto Japan open this week: Elliot Scientific attending both
Wednesday sees the opening of the 22nd Photonex, the UK’s showcase light and imaging exhibition and conference. Coventry City’s Ricoh Arena is once again the venue for the show and Elliot Scientific will be there on Stand B10.
We will be demonstrating our Elliot|Martock range of precision micropositioning stages, fibre launch, and waveguide alignment systems, plus the piezo-driven nanopositioning systems of Mad City Labs . Experience the amazing super-fine and super-smooth 254 TPI precision screw adjusters of Kozak Micro, and the controlability of the mechOnics‘ piezo inertial drives.
The ground-breaking laser-driven plasma light source from Energetiq is present, while lasers from IPG Photonics and Femtolasers will be shown alongside our ranges of protective laser eyewear. The popular Spatial Light Modulator range from Holoeye, is also being put through its paces .
On the same day, InterOpto, a major Far East photonics exhibition, opens. It is taking place in Yokohama, Japan and Elliot Scientific will be there, joining our Japanese distributor Autex in Booth I-057 to demonstrate our Flexure Stages, Miniature Slides and a full working Optical Tweezers System.
We look forward to welcoming you to our stands from October 16th to demonstrate these products and more.
For information about these shows, visit the Photonex and InterOpto websites.
April 2013 Newsletter Out Now
The Elliot Scientific April newsletter is now available. In this issue we welcome Photodigm’s High Power Single Frequency Monolithic Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) Laser Diodes to our portfolio, introduce Lake Shore’s new 4 Additional Input option card for Model 336 and 350 Low Temperature Controllers, cover new systems in the mechOnics micropositioning range, look forward to the 40th Laser World of Photonics in Munich, and more.

New Systems in mechOnics Micropositioning Range
mechOnics, a specialist in micropositioning systems using piezo inertial drives, has expanded their range of stages. In addition to a comprehensive portfolio of X, XY, and XYZ miniature translation stages, Elliot Scientific is now able to offer a Monomode Coupler and an XYZ Positioner with up 10 mm travel. Stages utilise a directly driven slip/stick rod method that maintains position without power, and ensures zero backlash or rotation.
The MX 35 XYZ Positioner is a compact miniature translation stage system that offers up to 10 mm in all axes with a step resolution of approximately 10 nm depending on choice of controller. The stage can position itself at speeds up to 1.2 mm/s with an accuracy of 50 nm. A vacuum-ready version is available along with a smaller sibling in the MX 25 model that offers 2 mm of travel in all axes.
The MK 25 Monomode Coupler focusses a free-space laser beam onto an optical fibre by means of a compact piezo-driven aspheric lens equipped assembly. This allows for remote focusing and alignment of systems where traditional hand adjustment would be impractical.
Full technical specifications of these products and details of other systems from mechOnics can be found in their current catalogue. Alternatively, please contact us for more information.
