Zaber's X-ADR-AE linear motor XY microscope stage delivers a leap in performance over conventional screw-driven stages. This stage is ideal for high-throughput imaging applications where speed, accuracy, and reliability are critical.
Key benefits include:
- High accuracy (5 µm) and repeatability (0.5 µm) are achieved with 1 nm resolution linear encoders, improving throughput by minimizing required image overlap
- High reliability, 100% maintenance free drive and feedback systems operate like new after millions of cycles
- Reduced scan times with 750 mm/s top speed and ultra-smooth crossed roller bearings to minimize settling time
- Nearly silent operation is perfect for quiet lab environments
- Integrated µManager compatible controllers save bench space and simplify cabling
The X-ADR-AE motorized xy microscope stage is available in 130 mm x 100 mm travel, single microplate, or 250 mm x 100 mm travel dual microplate models to reduce sample changeovers. Both models are compatible with most common Nikon and Olympus inverted microscopes, and optical breadboards. A wide variety of stage inserts are available for microplates, Petri dishes, and up to 8 slides.
An integrated controller requires only a single 5 mm flex rated cable, simplifying setup and saving valuable bench space. Automation of complex scanning tasks is made easy with full support for µManager microscopy software and Zaber’s intuitive Zaber Motion Library API. Digital inputs and outputs enable low-latency event-driven triggering with external systems and devices.
X-ADR-AE stages deliver unrivaled long-term reliability. They are field proven for millions of cycles in demanding high-throughput imaging applications. Non-contact motors and encoders are 100% maintenance free, while oversized crossed roller bearings maximize lifetime.
