ProScan H100A Motorized XY Stage


Compact Automation for Upright Microscopes

The H100A motorized XY stage provides a cost effective way of accessing ProScan-level high performance accuracy and repeatability with many commercial microscopes.

Each individual H100A is tuned with specific parameters that optimize its overall performance, making it equally well suited to higher magnification basic microscopy or higher end imaging techniques, in an efficiently sized format ideal for typical microscopy samples such as slides, filter papers or polished metrology samples. The H100A’s low mass compared to the other stages also makes it a good choice for smaller microscope frames.

Its small footprint is ideal for integration into optical table-based experimental setups and OEM instruments. Its 1 mm ball screw and 200 step motors provide an excellent balance of speed and precision for most applications.
