Popis: A micropositioner consisting of flexure pivoted levers with a displacement amplifying mode to enhance displacement sensor sensitivity and a displacement reducing mode to achieve high resolution is described. The micropositioner is actuated by a piezoelectric driving element controlled by a closed‐loop servocircuit, and provides fast response and high repeatability. A successful application to STM is also described.
