OptiScan ES111 (Nikon) Motorized XY Stage
Economical Entry-Level Stage for Nikon Upright Microscopes (125 mm x 75 mm)
The ES111 is an entry-level motorized XY stage adapted for Nikon upright microscopes and stereomicroscopes. See the product compatibility tab for the full list of options available.
Featuring a reliable and accurate anti-backlash leadscrew/stepper motor, the stage suits routine imaging applications that do not require sub-micrometer repeatability and is an affordable choice for microscope automation.
It accommodates a variety of specimen types including glass slides, multi-well plates, Petri dishes, and polished metallurgical samples.
Typical applications include slide scanning, particle analysis, industrial microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and metrology.
Due to its low cost and ease of use, the ES111 is also ideal for motorized microscopy education or home-use pathology systems.
The ES111 is compatible with Nikon NIS Elements Software (appropriate package required).
- Compatible with both industrial and life science Nikon microscopes
- Low cost, easy to set up and easy to use
- Compatible with NIS Elements software
- Facilitates routine multiposition imaging and stitching
