SlicePlatform Fixed Platform System Rock solid stability Mounting equipment Experts in Electrophysiology & Imaging

SlicePlatforms for upright microscopes Scientifica’s SlicePlatform is a carefully engineered, stable and versatile solution for mounting a full range of equipment for electrophysiology and imaging. It is used in laboratories around the world and has proved universally popular as a stable foundation for patch clamp recordings and other applications. Compatible with upright microscopes from all major manufacturers, including Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon and Leica, the SlicePlatform is ready to easily integrate into your current rig. The SlicePlatform, shown with the Scientifica SliceScope and...

Universal Motorised Stage A strong partnership The Scientifica SlicePlatform is commonly used with the Scientifica range of microscope translators including the Universal Motorised Stage (UMS). The UMS offers 50 mm of remote motorised translation of your entire microscope in X and Y axes via user interfaces or software. For some microscope models, an optional motorised Z-axis focus module is also available to upgrade the manual focus. Featuring recallable memory positions and user customisation via LinLab software, the UMS is versatile enough to suit a wide range of microscopy applications,...

Benefits As a central component to your electrophysiology setup, the SlicePlatform will ensure complete stability during recordings and prove intuitive and problem free in operation. Unique “follow” function Efficient sample space The unique “follow” function within Scientifica’s LinLab software can simplify navigation and the movement of multiple motorised devices around your sample. The SlicePlatform features an integrated slice chamber in its centre for simplicity and complete stability. This prevents extended searching for manipulators outside the field of view, saving valuable time....

Universally compatible The SlicePlatform is designed to perfectly match the focal height range of all major microscope manufacturers. This is easily achieved by using height adjustable legs which allows the top plate to be raised from between 220mm to 290mm. To allow complete freedom to arrange your rig on your anti-vibration table, the SlicePlatform features Scientifica’s slotted inserts on its feet. The slotted inserts accept metric or ¼-20 bolts, making them universally compatible with tapped anti-vibration tables.

Complete Setups SliceScope Pro 2000 & PatchPro 2000 The 2000 systems cost-effectively integrate the upright SlicePlatform into complete patch clamping solutions, complete with micromanipulators, a translation stage and control hardware. SliceScope Pro 2000 The SliceScope Pro Series has been developed by Scientifica in close collaboration with world leading researchers, to create a completely electrophysiology friendly motorised microscopy system. It provides a very stable, compact platform with outstanding Olympus optics for efficient, fully-motorised microscopy. The compact frame of the...

The PatchPro systems are integrated patch clamping solutions that work in conjunction with fixed stage nosepiece focussing scopes from Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon and Leica. They allow the user to control manipulators, microscope translators and temperature equipment, all from two neat, simple user consoles. Additionally a Z-Focus module is available for a range of microscopes should it be required. Advantages Future-proof modular system allows you to add or subtract equipment at a later date Compatibility guaranteed for peace-ofmind and trouble free operation Fully upgradeable software control...
