Able to adjust movement on up to 16 different axes they provide complete control with little restriction. They are compatible with the world\u2019s leading imaging analysis software and offer a compact and powerful system saving both time and money. Prior\u2019s ProScan III controller is expandable to support additional functionalities such as hardware triggering and illumination control, and also underpins Prior\u2019s intelligent scanning technology (IST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advanced internal software<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy integration with most microscopy imaging software<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018Plug and play\u2019 control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compact and powerful system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modular, expandable, and customizable system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joysticks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior\u2019s ergonomic joystick controllers allow precise manual control on XY and Z axes.
