ProScan H117N1E4


Motorized High Performance Inverted Stage for Evident/Olympus IX85

The H117N1E4 inverted stage is designed for use with the Evident/Olympus IX85 microscopes.

The flat top design facilitates compatibility with many stage top incubation systems and positioning of periphal equipment around sample for complex imaging operations.

Featuring Prior’s patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST) to optimize stage accuracy, linearity and other performance characteristics, and being directly compatible with NanoScan SP Series piezo stages, the H117N1E4 is ideal for high-end life science imaging.

Whilst it is typically configured with a 1 mm pitch ballscrew and 400 step motor for maximum resolution, it is also available with a 2 mm pitch ballscrew and 200 step motor for applications requiring higher throughput of samples.


    • Directly compatible with Evident/Olympus IX85 microscopes and CellSens Dimension software.
    • Flat top design for easy sample loading.
    • Compatible with NanoScan SP series piezo stages, stage top incubators and other peripheral equipment.
    • Optimized for resolution and repeatability.
    • Intelligent Scanning Technology™ (U.S. Patent 7,330,307).
