Automated Imaging Systems<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Prior\u2019s OpenStand\u00ae<\/sup> platform is a flexible and fully customizable system suitable for optical microscopy and imaging. It is an ideal development platform for testing and proving novel optical techniques or imaging automation. OpenStand offers OEMs a cost-effective and fast route to prototyping, testing, and production, reducing the crucial time to market. With OpenStand you get a working system to start developing your application immediately. The system is modular so you can adapt and alter the hardware during your development phase, but any developed software is portable to new designs as all system mechanics use the same software development kit. This means you can develop your hardware and software in parallel without losing any functionality on the final production instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software development capability is not a requirement to use OpenStand: it\u2019s compatible with all leading imaging software platforms including \u00b5Manager<\/strong>, Visiview<\/strong>, and Inscoper<\/strong>. Learn more about the software compatibility here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With OpenStand you get a whole system and full support from Prior’s expert team. The process starts with a consultative meeting to understand your application and how OpenStand could improve your system performance, or enable the realization of novel or correlative imaging methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
