FB206E Encoded Stage Focusing Mount for Transmitted Light Applications


High Performance Linear Actuator For Upright Microscopy Life Science Stages

The FB206E stage focusing mount is designed for upright transmitted light microscopy and features a wide aperture to allow the development of customized diascopic optical systems on a breadboard.

The mounting plate fits Prior’s upright life science stages, such as the ES111, H101A, and H101N2F. Other customized mounts are available for Prior’s inverted stages.

The FB206E incorporates the high-performance FB203E encoded linear actuator for 38 mm Z-axis travel with exceptional long-range repeatability. They have a high load capacity of 14 kg for use with heavy samples or large stages.
