Product Description
Features Typical Applications
The MicroStage is a precision, stepper motor driven, micropositioning system for microscopy applications. Long range (25 mm) linear positioning is provided in two axes (XY) with high resolution and excellent repeatability. Employing our proprietary intelligent control scheme results in exceptional stability with high native precision making our MicroStages the ideal choice for demanding microscopy and nanoscopy. The MicroStage is compatible with a range of Mad City Labs nanopositioning systems. The addition of optional high resolution (20nm) linear encoders provide real-time feedback of the actual stage position. The included Micro-Drive™ controller connects to a
PC via a standard USB port and can be controlled via the supplied LabVIEW based software. Complex motion profiles can be programmed and sophisticated control parameters such as automatic acceleration and deceleration is employed to achieve high stability and native accuracy. Optional wireless gamepad control is also available. MicroStages are offered for the following inverted microscopes: Olympus IX Series, Nikon TE/Ti Series, Leica DMI Series, and Zeiss Axiovert/Axio Observer Series. MicroStages designed to fit other experimental setups, including direct mounting to optical tables, are also available.
