Abstract
A tilting element of a manipulation stage uses a movement apparatus comprising a linear actuator attached to a fixed part and connected to a blade. The blade is attached at an end to a bottom side of a movable part to tilt the movable part relative to the fixed part. A tilt angle of the movable part relative to the fixed part is changed by extending and retracting the movable part of the linear actuator and thus winding and unwinding of the blade on the bottom side of the movable part.
Claims12
A tilting element of a manipulation stage comprising:
- a fixed part,
- a movable part adapted for the placement of at least one sample, and
- a movement apparatus, wherein the movable part is pivotally mounted on the fixed part, and wherein the movement apparatus comprises a blade and a linear actuator, wherein the blade is attached at one end to a bottom side of the movable part and is connected at an opposite end to the linear actuator, which is further connected to the fixed part.
A tilting element of a manipulation stage comprising:
- a fixed part,
- a movable part adapted for the placement of at least one sample, and
- a movement apparatus, wherein the movable part is pivotally mounted on the fixed part, and wherein the movement apparatus comprises a flexible blade and a linear actuator, wherein the blade is attached at one end to a bottom side of the movable part and is connected at an opposite end to the linear actuator, which is further connected to the fixed part, wherein the blade is configured to conform to the bottom side of the movable part during tilting.
A tilting element of a manipulation stage comprising:
- a fixed part;
- a movable part adapted for the placement of at least one sample;
- wherein the movable part is pivotably mounted on the fixed part such that at least a part of a top side of the fixed part has an arc profile in a direction parallel to a tilting axis;
- and
- at least one arc guide placed on the part of the top side of the fixed part with the arc profile;
- wherein an outer radius of the arc guide corresponds to a radius of the arc profile of the top side of the fixed part and at the same time a radius of an inner side of the arc guide corresponds to a radius of an arc profile of a bottom side of the movable part;
- and wherein a part of the bottom side of the movable part with the arc profile is placed on the arc guide.
