Custom 3-axis Controller
This custom 3-axis ControlCube is ideal for XYZ applications requiring fine displacement control. The intuitive layout permits precise and smooth manual operation for motorized systems, such as micromanipulators and microscope stages. The ControlCube offers similar functionality to Zaber's standard device knobs, providing much finer control. It works with modified Zaber stand-alone controllers and devices with built-in controllers, which are customized with a locking connector in place of the manual knob. The ControlCube can be paired with a standard joystick (X-JOY3) to add programmable buttons for varying the displacement increments of the dials or toggling between displacement and velocity control modes.

Custom ASR Insert
Zaber is happy to offer customized ASR inserts to fit your application. In this case, a customer needed to automate transferring samples from a slide to different wells in a well plate, and there were no standard inserts that would hold both at once. We customized an AM152 aluminum insert for the ASR205B205B so that it can hold an AM142 microscope slide insert and an AM109 multiwell plate insert.

Custom Microscope Stage
This image shows a ASR205B205B-E03T3 microscope stage customized with a larger size aperture for the baseplate (increased to diameter of 125 mm) and midplate (slot size increased to 209 mm tall and 89 mm wide with outer radii of 25 mm). The top plate is fitted with a customized AM152 insert that is designed to hold two custom versions of the AM142 inserts and one AM109 insert.

Dual-View Microscopy System
A microscope system to simultaneously image a sample from the top and bottom. Each objective has independent focus control and the upper and lower optical axes are precisely aligned to ensure concentricity. While the solution is a customer configuration, all parts are off-the-shelf products from our wide rage of Nucleus microscope modules. The remarkably low cost of $44,000 speaks to the efficiency and affordability of Zaber’s modular approach. Read the case study to learn more.

Microscope Stage Camera Synchronization
Ultra high-speed imaging and TDI scanning requires tightly synchronized motion and camera triggering. This peripheral ADR microscope stage can be combined with Zaber’s X-MCC Controller optional encoder outputs to enable low latency camera synchronization. This flexible system can be used with cameras of almost any resolution and scanning speed thanks to 1 nm direct reading linear encoders and user configurable interpolation on the controller’s outputs.
