ProScan H101A (Nikon)


Motorized High Speed Microscope Stage For Nikon Upright Microscopes

The ProScan H101A is a motorized XY stage for Nikon upright microscopes

It has a 2 mm ballscrew and 200-step motor for a balance of speed and resolution, offering sub-micron repeatability while also providing 4 times the speed of the H1P4A stage. Prior's patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST) optimizes stage accuracy, linearity and repeatability. 

The H101A (Nikon) accommodates a variety of specimen types including glass slides, multiwell plates, semiconductor wafers, and metallurgical samples. 

This stage is compatible with Nikon NIS Elements software (appropriate package required).  

See the product compatibility tab for the full list of options available.
