ProScan™III Motorized Stage Systems

Click here to download the ProScan™III Motorized Stage System datasheet.

Experience the ultimate advancement in microscope automation with the new compact and modular designed ProScan™III system from Prior Scientific. The ProScan™III system is capable of controlling up to 16 individual stepper motor axes including a motorized stage, focus motor, three filter wheels and three shutters with the speed and precision required by today's highly automated and demanding applications. ProScan ProScan™III's improved processor provides up to a 250% increase in stage speed. Designed to have a small footprint, the system also saves valuable workspace and eases the pressure on the limited space constraints in modern labs.

ProScan™ Motorized Stage Systems consists of a ProScan™III controller, a selected stage from the ProScan™ motorized stage line and a selection of accessories to further customize the system. Several models of the ProScan™ motorized stage line are enabled with the revolutionary patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST) which allows each stage to be pre-programmed with a unique set of operating characteristics to that particular stage to ensure optimum performance. Prior's new Interactive Control Center (ICC) Joystick provides a centralized manual control center for all ProScan™III accessories. The ICC screen provides positional feedback while the joystick, buttons and digipots control accessories such as the stage, focus, filter wheels and shutters.

Ideal applications include; image tiling, time lapse studies, virtual/digital slides, industrial and semiconductor inspection and high throughput screening.


“The precision provided by the [ProScan III] 1mm ballscrew and 50nm encoders is fantastic. The movement appears really smooth, even under magnification with a 63x objective.”

ProScan™ Accessories

Prior offer a range of accessories to enhance modern microscopes. All of the accessories below can be controlled through third party software using the ProScan™III , OptiScan™II or PCI II.

Shutters
Four options are available a 25mm and 35mm apertures for brightfield and emission applications and high temperature options in both sizes for excitation applications. All shutters can be either stand alone or bolted directly to Prior filter wheels, mounting flanges can be provided to adapt to most microscopes.


Filter Wheels
Two options are available, a 10 position filter wheel suitable for 25mm diameter filters and a 8 position filter wheel suitable for 35mm filters. All filter wheels can be either stand alone or bolted directly to Prior shutters, mounting flanges can be provided to adapt to most microscopes.


Joysticks
Prior offer a range of joysticks to control 3 and 4 axis systems. From the brand new PS3J100 Interactive Control Center (ICC) Joystick to the CS152DP Joystick, Prior has a variety of options to control your accessories.


Keypad Controllers
Two different type of keypad controllers for accessories are available, a Touchscreen keypad for control of the stages, filter wheels and shutters and a keypad for up to 2 filter wheels and 3 shutters.


Specimen Holders
Specimen holders are available for a variety of applications involving samples such as slides, microtitre (96 well) plates, petri dishes, metallurgical samples and semiconductor wafers.
