Automated Imaging

A lot of modern high technology depends on the control and visualization of things that are very small. Because of this, automated imaging is one of the most common applications for XY stages.

Dispensing-Applications

Automated Liquid Handling

Biochemical protocols require a lot of pipetting. Many labs use manual pipettes, but increasingly automation has been introduced to increase both throughput and reliability.

Focusing

In most imaging applications, the distance between the optics and the sample must be adjustable to ensure that the image can be brought into perfect focus.
