The New Scale M3-FS Focus Module family of ultra-compact, high-precision micro-stages. They are designed for lens manipulation and for use in the most compact and portable optical systems and devices.
The New Scale M3-FS Focus Module family of ultra-compact, high-precision micro-stages. They are designed for lens manipulation and for use in the most compact and portable optical systems and devices.
Requiring no more space than a traditional lens mount, these focus modules are a complete solution for lens control. With an embedded controller, low power consumption and zero power required to hold a position, these focus modules are ideal for battery-powered applications.
