Precision hardware. Seamless automation. Built for your experiment.

Some experiments need more than standard lab equipment. For demanding optical and magneto-optical measurements, we design and build custom microscope platforms that integrate precision positioning, magnetic-field compatibility and flexible optical access — tailored to your experiment. Our hardware combines robust mechanical design, integrated positioning components and seamless labMule compatibility in one coherent measurement platform.

Tailored to your measurement

Every experiment comes with its own requirements. Sample geometry, optical access, positioning range, magnetic-field configuration and electrical contacting all influence how a measurement platform should be designed.

We adapt each microscope platform to your sample, your measurement technique and your laboratory workflow — whether you want to upgrade an existing setup or build a new system from scratch.

Built for optical and magneto-optical techniques

Our microscope platforms can be adapted to a wide range of optical measurement techniques, including Brillouin light scattering, Raman scattering, NV-center microscopy, time-resolved Kerr microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and custom optical detection schemes.

The mechanical and optical layout is designed around the experiment, allowing objectives, beam paths, sample holders, positioning systems and laboratory instruments to work together in one coherent setup.

Precision positioning and sample access

Reliable measurements require stable and reproducible positioning. Our platforms can integrate manual positioners, linear stages, piezo stages and custom sample holders to provide precise access to micro- and nanostructures.

The system can be configured for automated scans, defined measurement trajectories, repeated positioning routines and long-term stable operation.

Designed for magnetic-field and probe-based experiments

For measurements in magnetic fields, we design microscope platforms that provide optical access while accommodating electromagnets or other field-generating components. Rail-based layouts can allow heavy magnetic components to be moved in and out of the measurement position while preserving alignment and accessibility. Our microscope hardware can also be combined with probe-station elements, allowing samples to be contacted electrically while remaining accessible to the optical measurement path.

Ready for labMule integration?

Our microscope hardware is designed to work together with labMule. Positioning systems, cameras, detectors, signal sources, field-control components and measurement instruments can be integrated into automated workflows. Together, hardware and software form a complete measurement platform for device control, automated scans, autofocus routines, long-term position stabilization and structured experiment documentation.
