In this paper, a charge amplifier adapted for piezoelectric tube scanners is presented. Previous problems involved with the implementation of such amplifiers are resolved to provide dc accurate performance with zero voltage drift. In our experiment, hysteresis was reduced by 89% when compared to a voltage amplifier.
