Imina Technologies ranked 57th best Swiss Startup

100 experts of the Swiss start-up scene have elected the 100 best Swiss start-ups of the year. Imina Technologies’ team is very proud to have been ranked 57th in this “best of” young Swiss high-tech companies in 2011.

New product: XY nanopositioning stage

Imina Technologies introduces a new product, a two degrees of freedom nanopositioning stage. The stage is an option that can be added to the standard base of the nanomanipulation platform and enables to moves a sample over several millimeters. Semi-automated operations can also be carried out.

Welcome to our new website!

We are committed to provide our customers with innovative, easy-to-use and flexible solutions for the manipulation and probing of nanoscale samples under microscope. Since often a picture is worth a thousand words, we decided to enrich this portal with many pictures and videos.

Typical applications for our manipulators

Working with carbon nanotubes, MEMS or cells?
Versatile and with different range of accuracy, our manipulators can be used for many applications where precision and deftness are sought. The platforms are modular and can be installed in both simple and complex experimental environments like under optical microscopes and in scanning electron microscopes. View all Applications >

Speed-up your experiments in a microscope

Whether you are working with optical or scanning electron microscopes (SEM), installing the miBot manipulators in your experimental setup has never been so easy. As it does not require mounting screws, the set-up time is a matter of a few minutes. And, since the motion directions of the miBot are aligned with its natural axes, it is very intuitive to control and achieve easily complex manipulations.
