ProScan HE38AXIM


Encoded Motorized Stage With 8 Slide Capacity For Zeiss Axio Imager

The HE38AXIM is an encoded, motorized XY stage adapted for Zeiss upright microscopes

It uses a 2 mm pitch ballscrew and 200-step motor drive to cover its large travel area quickly, and features Prior's patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST) to optimize stage accuracy and linearity. Long-range repeatability is also enhanced by linear encoders providing closed-loop positioning.

The HE38AXIM fits up to eight 75 mm x 25 mm microscope slides and offers extended lateral travel for imaging large samples, such as PCBs, or arrays of multiple samples.

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