NANORO M : Super Resolution Scanning Optical Microscope
The Nanoro M was designed to make the most of the SMAL lens by leveraging the microsphere's unique optical properties. It has the Aerotech ANT95XY stage, which provides exceptional repeatability and a 50 mm scan and motion range with a 5 µm resolution.
The Nanoro M has a vertical travel of 60 mm at high speed with a minimum step size of 100 nm, thanks to its optical block mounted on a Marzhauser linear stage.
A dependable Marzhauser joystick controls the system, enabling smooth, accurate, and speed-adjustable motion in the X, Y, and Z axes.

High-precision image stitching was used to achieve a 50 mm x 50 mm scan for large area scanning. Super-resolution imaging requires ultra-fine-focus control, enabled by 60 mm of Z travel with 100 nm precision.
Real-time, true-color imaging with sub-100 nm resolution is provided using a high-performance CMOS camera. White LEDs ensure steady, low-heat lighting that is ideal for delicate samples by producing brilliant, consistent white light illumination.
