Customization Examples

Whether you need modifications to standard products or have unique stage or system needs, our Product Customization Team is dedicated to building tailored solutions.

Motorized Microscope Stages Customizations

OEM Microscope Stage

Need a custom OEM version? This custom ASR highlights some of our capabilities. Fine-pitch ball screws and high resolution encoders were integrated to provide even better small move performance for high throughput imaging tasks. Additionally, a custom base-plate was designed to mount directly to the customer’s optical system without additional adaptor plates. Product branding was also removed as per the customer’s request. Zaber provides many other OEM services including, testing, calibration, inventory management, rapid prototyping, and custom firmware solutions. Contact us with your requirements.

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.

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 Mounting Plate

This custom plate allows the user to have a moving platform with standard mounting holes. In particular, this custom plate has M6 threaded holes on a 25 mm grid.
