ProScan H117E1L4 Motorized Inverted Microscope Stage


Encoded High Performance Stage for Zeiss Axio Observer Microscopes

The ProScan H117E1L4 motorized XY stage is designed for use with the Zeiss Axio Observer 7 inverted microscope and Accuscope EXI-600 microscope. 

It uses a 1 mm ballscrew, 400-step motor drive configuration, and linear encoders for exceptional long-range linearity. This makes the H117E1L4 an excellent stage for long-term, multipoint time-lapse experiments that require both high-precision movements and high stability in one position over extended periods.

Prior's patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST) optimizes stage accuracy and linearity. 

A flat top plate allows easy access to the sample for loading, compatibility with many stage-top incubation systems, and enables the use of peripheral equipment around the sample for complex imaging operations

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