Product catalog summary

Overview
The OptiScan IIITM Motorised Stage Systems by Prior Scientific are designed for precision in microscopy applications, offering enhanced accuracy and speed without compromising affordability or reliability. The system includes the OptiScan III controller, motorised stages, and focusing mechanisms, providing flexibility and customization to meet specific needs.

OptiScan III Controller
The controller is compact, versatile, and compatible with popular image analysis software, facilitating seamless integration. It includes a software development toolkit with DLL, a VB demo program, and ASCII commands. Communication is possible via USB or RS232 serial port, and the system supports easy setup with a 'plug & play' feature and firmware upgrades through onboard flash memory.

Motorised Stage Systems
These stages are suitable for various imaging applications and compatible with most microscopes and Prior specimen holders. They feature a unique S-curve acceleration algorithm for smooth, vibration-free movement and positioning.

Ergonomic Joystick
The joystick provides precise control over the stage and focus drive, allowing control of the X, Y, and Z axes.

OptiScan IIITM Motorised Stage Systems Focus drive By adding the PS3H122 Focus Drive into your microscope, it is possible to finely control not only the motorised stage but also the focussing of the microscope itself, via either a joystick or from a computer. Step sizes as small as 0.1µm give extra resolution for precise focussing and repeatability. If larger movements are required, the motor can be driven at speeds of up to 16 revs/s. Ergonomic joystick The joysticks offer precise and ergonomic control of the stage, and, if required, the focus drive, allowing the user to use the joystick to...
