H101A stepper motor XY stage for upright microscopes with Zeiss Microscopes and OEM/batch order flash.

ProScan HEP4AXIM Encoded Motorized XY Stage


High Resolution Stage For Zeiss Axio Imager Upright Microscopes (114 mm x 75 mm)

The HEP4AXIM is an encoded motorized XY stage adapted for Zeiss Axio Imager microscopes.

The most accurate and precise stage in the ProScan H101 range, it uses a 1 mm pitch ballscrew and 400-step motor drive configuration to provide four times the resolution of the H101A stage, making it ideal for applications that require reliable, short stage movements.

Linear encoders ensure long-range repeatability while Prior’s patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST) optimizes stage accuracy and linearity.

The HEP4AXIM accommodates a variety of specimen types including glass slides, multiwell plates, semiconductor wafers, and metallurgical samples. Alternative drive configuration options may be available depending on your region.

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

This is an ‘OEM & Batch Order’ product. For more information visit our FAQs section.
