About us
Wienecke & Sinske GmbH develops and assembles piezo positioning systems, control and regulation electronics as well as data acquisition components in Gleichen-Bremke (Southern Lower Saxony). The portfolio includes piezo scanning stages for microscopes in the XY and Z directions, matching piezo controllers and insert frames for microscope slides, petri dishes and multiwell plates. The systems are made of aluminium and achieve resolutions down to the nanometer range; the scanning stages are compatible with microscopes from Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH. In addition to standard components, the company realizes customer-specific electronics, hardware and software solutions, including integration of customer protocols into the firmware, services up to commissioning, and sales. Fields of application include microscopy, manufacturing and laboratory metrology, and automated processes in quality assurance. Since 2000 the company has been a member of the Measurement Valley business association in the Göttingen region.
