Encoded Motorized Z Deck Electrophysiology Platform
Ultra-stable Platform With XY Stepper Motor Stage
The encoded Z Deck Quick Adjust Platform, with motorized XY stage, enables users to automatically image multiple areas of interest with speed and precision, and enhance productivity in electrophysiology applications.
Featuring linear encoders for exceptional long-range repeatibility, it provides closed-loop control, enabling even very small sample features to be relocated to the center of the microscope field of view with ease.
The ultra-stable platform allows full access for micromanipulation and the height is quickly and easily adjusted for use with different sample sizes from thin samples to whole animal imaging.
The large stage top plate has a breadboard pattern for mounting experiment accessories, and an aperture compatible with a wide range of sample holders.
For experiments requiring the minimum of electrical noise, the manual Z Deck is available.
This platform is compatible with a range of upright microscopes from the main manufacturers. See the product compatibility tab for details.
