The H117 ProScan™ stage is ideal for all high precision biomedical and material science scanning operations, specific attention was given to designing the H117 to assist the researcher who is doing prolonged live cell studies. By mounting all of the drive components below the top plate, the H117 provides easy access for micromanipulators, environmental chambers and robotic loaders. The stage allows for scanning using a very broad range of sample holders, including microtitre plates, slide holders, petri dishes, well plates, flasks, haemocytometers and metallurgical sample holders. The H117 ProScan™ stage series has a completely flat top for easy access, and includes the patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST). In conjunction with extensive testing, Intelligent Scanning Technology allows each stage to be pre-programmed with a unique set of operating characteristics particular to that stage to ensure optimum performance. IST (also available on H101A and H107 models) allows the ProScan™III controller to make any required adjustments to maintain superior orthogonality and metric accuracy.
