Description

A compact nanopositioning stage is described that has high vibrational eigenfrequencies and is, therefore, insensitive to external vibrations. The high eigenfrequencies are produced by a rigid structure that is designed so that it does not degrade the motional performance of the stage. Preliminary performance evaluations are presented. We describe how a positioning stage of this type could be used as an integral part of a proximal probe
