The P-733 flexure-guided stage offers wear-free motion, fast response and a clear aperture for transmitted-light microscopy.

SHREWSBURY, Mass., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in piezo nanopositioning and air bearing technology, offers the P-733 XYZ piezo nanopositioning stage, delivering 0.1 nm (1 Å) positioning resolution for demanding applications in super-resolution microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface nanometrology, and advanced imaging.

The P-733 combines frictionless flexure guidance with high-accuracy capacitive position feedback to achieve sub-nanometer positioning performance and highly repeatable motion. Travel ranges of up to 100 × 100 µm in X and Y and 10 µm in Z enable precision sample scanning and measurement across comparatively large areas. A 50 × 50 mm clear aperture supports transmitted-light microscopy and other optical imaging techniques.

High-Stiffness Direct-Drive Version for Maximum Throughput
For applications that demand the highest scanning speeds and fastest settling times, the P-733.3DD direct-drive version provides 30 × 30 × 10 µm travel with the same 0.1 nm resolution. Its high-stiffness design supports rapid scanning and dynamic positioning, with resonant frequencies exceeding 1 kHz.

The stage architecture incorporates parallel kinematics and parallel metrology, ensuring that all motion axes are measured relative to a common fixed reference. This design actively compensates for crosstalk and guiding errors, helping maintain nanometer-level tracking accuracy during high-speed scanning and precision measurement tasks.

Key Features

0.1 nm (1 Å) positioning resolutionUHV-compatible and nonmagnetic versions availableXYZ motion with travel ranges up to 100 × 100 × 10 µm50 × 50 mm clear aperture for transmitted-light microscopyCapacitive feedback sensors with up to 99.97% motion linearityParallel kinematics and parallel metrology for enhanced multi-axis accuracyHigh-stiffness direct-drive variant for fast scanning and shortest step-and-settle timesIdeal for wafer metrology, super-resolution microscopy, nanoimprinting, surface metrology, and image stabilization

Wear-Free Design for Long-Term Stability
The P-733 employs wear-free, zero-play flexure guides and PICMA® multilayer piezo actuators, eliminating mechanical friction and backlash. Noncontact capacitive sensors provide highly linear position measurement with exceptional long-term stability and typical linearity of 99.97%.

Applications and Industries Served
The P-733 is designed for a broad range of industrial and scientific applications, including super-resolution and confocal microscopy, AFM, surface characterization, wafer positioning, nanoimprinting, micromanipulation, precision optics, and image stabilization. Ultra-high-vacuum-compatible and nonmagnetic configurations are available for specialized environments. Markets and Applications.
In addition to super-resolution and confocal microscopy, the P-733 is suitable for surface measurement, wafer positioning, nanoimprinting, micromanipulation, and image stabilization. Ultra-high-vacuum-compatible and nonmagnetic versions are available on request.

TOKYO, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YTE Ltd. announces that the upcoming TV anime Uncle’s Obsession with Cute Things has released a new key visual and announced three additional voice actors Takuya Eguchi, Yuki Kaji and Ayumu Murase to the cast.

Based on the beloved manga by Tsutomu, Uncle’s Obsession with Cute Things follows Mitsuki Oji, a successful and charismatic office manager who secretly loves cute characters, especially his favorite, Pugtaro. Blending comedy and heartfelt moments, the series celebrates the joy of embracing one’s passions regardless of age or expectations.

The new key visual features Mitsuki Oji and Pugtaro alongside other characters from the series.

Additional Cast:

Takuya Eguchi as Kenta KawaiYuki Kaji as Wataru NarutoAyumu Murase as Masumi Nii

They join previously announced cast members:

Kazuyuki Okitsu as Mitsuki OjiMiyu Tomita as Pugtaro

Cast Comments
Takuya Eguchi
“Kazuyuki Okitsu’s portrayal of Mitsuki Oji is truly remarkable. His energy brought incredible enthusiasm to every recording session, and I hope audiences enjoy the lively performances that came from such a fun production.”

Yuki Kaji
“Congratulations on the anime adaptation. I was already a fan of Pugtaro, so I was excited to join the project. Since I rarely have the opportunity to play a character in this age range, I initially approached the audition as a valuable challenge. After being cast and completing the recordings, I’ve grown very fond of Naruto and his character. I hope viewers enjoy the series.”

Ayumu Murase
“I was impressed by how the original manga balances warmth and comedy. We worked hard to preserve that charm in the anime, and I hope fans enjoy the series.”

The anime is directed by Tomoe Makino, with Yutaka Sato handling series composition and scripts, Yumi Kimura serving as character designer, and LIDENFILMS producing the animation. Uncle’s Obsession with Cute Things is scheduled to premiere on Crunchyroll in October 2026.
