U-780 PILine® XY Stage System with Controller and Joystick
Stable, Dynamic, Low Profile
- High velocity constancy at 10 µm/s
- Velocity to 120 mm/s, resolution 0.1 µm
- Travel ranges to 135 mm × 85 mm (depending on model type)
- For inverted microscopes, freely revolving nosepiece
- Compact, low-profile design: Unrestricted access to the sample
- Extensive accessories
Reference-class microscope XY stage
System consisting of XY stage, controller, USB joystick, and appropriate cables. Large clear aperture 160 mm × 110 mm.
Accessories necessary: Sample holder, fine positioning stages, and Z stages
You will find matching fine positioning stages (X / Y / Z / ΘX / ΘY / ΘZ), sample holders (microscope slide, holder for Petri dishes, and microtiter plates), as well as any adapter plates necessary in our "Microscope Stage Configurator" brochure.
Suitable for the following inverted microscopes:
- Nikon Eclipse Ti / Ti2
- Olympus IX / IX2 / IX3
- Leica DMI6000 / DMI8
High-resolution PILine® piezo linear drive
Self-locking at rest. Low noise. Highest stability due to low thermal load and no lubricants. Large dynamics range of 10 µm/s to 120 mm/s, ideal for operating with joystick and automated high-content processes.
Highly accurate position measuring with incremental linear encoder
Noncontact optical encoders measure the actual position directly at the motion platforms with the greatest accuracy so that nonlinearity, mechanical play or elastic deformation have no influence on position measuring.
User software
PIMikroMove. PI General Command Set (GCS). Drivers for NI LabVIEW. Compatible with µManager, MetaMorph, Andor iQ, MATLAB.
Application fields
For inverted microscopes from Nikon, Olympus and Leica, versions for other microscopes available on request. For super-resolution microscopy, tiling, automated scanning microscopy.
