The Microscope Stage brings automated, highly accurate X-Y
positioning to a wide
range of microscope-based applications including wafer,
mask, and die
inspection; cell counting and analysis; video profilometry; etc.
The
Microscope Stage utilizes crossed roller ways and precision ground
leadscrews with anti-backlash nuts, resulting in exceptional flatness,
straightness,
and
linear positioning accuracy.
This stage features the three-piece construction found in our XY and XYR Series, which machines orthogonality into the center section; resulting in an extremely low profile. The stage body is only 1.2” thick, which, together with the large 3.00” clear aperture, permits the microscope stage to be used with closely spaced, high numerical aperture objectives and condensers. This stage is also available with a solid top. Locking DA-15 connectors for both axes are mounted to the same section, simplifying cabling. Note that since both motors are mounted to the center section, they both move when the lower axis moves.
