ASR Series

Motorized XY microscope stages

About This Series

Zaber's ASR series microscope stages combined with our X-MCC2 series multi-axis controllers are designed as replacements for manual stages on upright and inverted microscopes or for stand-alone operation as scanning stages. Set up is easy with AutoDetect. Once connected, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the ASR.

Mounting adaptors are available for breadboards and most common microscopes. Custom adaptors and plates are available upon request.

Easy Set-Up

With AutoDetect, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the peripheral. Zaber's devices can share both data and power through a daisy-chain, which reduces cabling and makes set-up as easy as 1, 2, 3:

  1. Connect the X-MCC controller to your computer.
  2. Connect the controller to the peripheral and plug in the power supply.
  3. Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
