Motorized Microscope Stages
- Exceptional Performance
Maximize your throughput and consistency with up to 500 nm repeatability, 750 mm/s speed and minimum incremental moves as small as 50 nm. - Scalable to Fit Your Needs
Scan single slides, silicon wafers up to 300 mm, or 6 microplates with 50 to 305 mm of travel per axis. - Easy Set Up & Integration
With built-in controllers, setup is quick and easy; stand-alone controllers are also available. Mounting hardware is available for a wide range of popular microscopes.
A motorized microscope stage, also referred to as an XY stage, holds and accurately positions samples along the two horizontal axes while restricting vertical movement to ensure samples stay in focus as they are moved.
Zaber offers a selection of standard and customized motorized microscope stage products. Although designed for scanning microscope applications, these stages can be used for many other automated XY positioning tasks. Products are available with optional built-in controllers and encoders.
Looking for a fully automated digital microscope? The ADR and ASR-E stages are fully compatible with the Nucleus microscopy platform.
