ZDP50 Microscope Translation Stage


Whole Microscope Movement For Electrophysiology and Neuroscience

The ZDP50 Microscope Translation Stage is designed for electrophysiology and neuroscience applications that need extreme stability.

It moves the whole microscope while the sample remains stationary to image different areas of the sample without disturbing it. This allows other imaging system components, such as patch clamps, to remain stationary while imaging mutliple locations.

The ZDP50 is compatible with any modern research microscope weighing up to 60 kg and is available in motorized or manual versions. Both versions provide 50 mm XY travel range.

It is fully compatible with Prior’s ZDeck platforms to create a complete motorized or manual electrophysiology system with movement in the X, Y, and Z axes.
