Precision Optical Path Switching for Multimodal Raman-Fluorescence Microscopy
The Challenge: A customer needed to perform single-cell metabolomics by identifying specific bacterial cells via widefield fluorescence imaging and subsequently analyzing those same cells using Raman spectroscopy. Because typical bacterial cells are only 1–10 μm in size, any mechanical deviation during the switch between fluorescence imaging and Raman spectroscopy would cause the Raman laser to miss the target identified in the fluorescence view. This customization allows the researcher to identify a target cell in fluorescence mode and trigger a Raman acquisition with a single software command. The automated switch occurs in under 350 ms, with the high precision of the kinematic mount ensuring the cell remains perfectly centered. This eliminates the need for manual recalibration between modes, allowing for much higher throughput.
Custom Gimbal with Through-Bore Slip Ring
The Challenge: A customer needed continuous two-axis rotation for a new instrument but also required clear, unobstructed access through the center to mount a stationary object. Standard rotary stages include an aperture, but running cables through a continuously rotating stage can cause cables to tangle. Zaber's standard gimbals include optional slip rings to provide unrestricted rotation with cables but this component occupies the rotary stage aperture. The Solution: Our Custom Engineering team designed a custom miniature gimbal that integrates a through-bore slip ring.
Modular System for Longer Travel
Need travel beyond 3.5 meters? We provide modular rail segments that join together for a longer range stage. The assembly process is straightforward, allowing a user to quickly construct it on-site and ensuring components can ship within a reasonable package size.
Custom Parallel Drive LSM
This parallel drive configuration of the LSM-E minimizes the total length of the stage with a side-mounted motor and shaft encoder. The compact form factor is ideal for space-constrained applications.
Modifications & Accessories
For mechanical or electrical modifications to standard models, alterations can be made and shipped within a matter of weeks.
Examples include custom travel lengths, added mounting features, additional carriages, customized brackets, and limit sensor changes.
