Interactive Control Center Modular System ProScan III provides a modular approach to minimize the footprint of the controller. The cubic design provides stylish looks with a footprint of only 177x177mm. The base unit is designed to accommodate a three axis system, e.g., a stage and focus. Additional functionality can be added to the unit via modular sections which allow easy expansion. The ancillary box accommodates extra functionality such as, filter wheels and shutters or programmable OEM axes. More than one ancillary box may be added. Configured to Your Requirements ProScan III can be expanded...

ProScanTM III High Performance Flexible Microscope Automation Systems High Precision Motorized Stages Precision Stepper Motors Quiet and precise stepper motors ensure exact positioning of the stage while the use of micro-stepping provides very smooth motion even at low speeds. Linear motors are available to allow both high accuracy and smooth motion at low speed plus high acceleration and speeds of up to 300mm/s. Adjustable Limit Switches The flexibility to reduce the travel range of the stage to match your application will avoid damaging collisions with the microscope. The limits are internal...

Stage for upright microscopes, providing a travel range suitable for well plates at 114x76mm. Stages can be configured with 2mm ball screws and 200 step motors for high speed applications or 1mm and 400 step motors for high accuracy applications. Both options can be fitted with high precision encoders. Includes IST for improved metric accuracy. Ultra flat stage for upright microscopes, providing the same high specification as the established H101A series of stages. The H101F situates the sample at the highest point of the stage surface giving the maximum objective clearance possible. Stage for inverted...
