Description

Leveraging the proven SmartStageā„¢ linear compact architecture and its precise motion solution capability of choice for high-performance microscopy and life science instruments, the SmartStageā„¢ Open Frame XY now allows you a wide travel range for your transmissive microscopy applications.

Key benefits:

  • Easy design integration. Leverage a common control architecture for your motion stages, while enjoying reduced part count, size, and complexity, with all the controllers built-in, and serviced by a single cable connection per stage.
  • Unique motor design provides the compact linear actuator smoother motion with industry-leading velocity stability.

Applications

SmartStageā„¢ Open Frame XY is the product of choice for open aperture applications requiring a large travel range, combined with rapid, precise positioning of large masses.

  • Optimized for regular or inverted microscopy applications that require an open aperture.
  • Space savings: compact linear motor and physically integrated controller stage designed to fit inside benchtop instruments.
  • Suitable for slides, well plates, (also optional accommodation for incubators available)

Support applications include:

  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS)
  • Digital cell morphology
  • Automated digital pathology
  • Optical metrology instruments
  • Semiconductor and nanotechnology imaging
  • Digital microscopes
  • High content imaging
  • Automated cell counting

High Resolution Trigger On Position for Image Capture or Laser Synchronization

  • High speed hardware output with < 1 nm resolution for synchronizing stage position with a camera or laser. Ideal for triggering during motion commonly required for TDI Imaging or laser processing.
  • A high-speed Trigger On Position output allows precise synchronization of a camera, laser, or other peripheral device with the exact position of the stage. Triggering is configurable at either fixed incremental intervals, or at arbitrary intervals using a user-defined look up table.

Coordinated Motion

  • User defined profile mode (UDP) allows stages to coordinate motion using auxiliary inputs. Stages can be driven by another axis or external source to follow defined motion curves based off the input.
