Imaging Systems

Prior’s OpenStand® platform is a flexible and fully customizable system suitable for optical microscopy and imaging. It is an ideal development platform for testing and proving novel optical techniques or imaging automation. OpenStand offers OEMs a cost-effective and fast route to prototyping, testing, and production, reducing the crucial time to market. With OpenStand you get a working system to start developing your application immediately. The system is modular so you can adapt and alter the hardware during your development phase, but any developed software is portable to new designs as all system mechanics use the same software development kit. This means you can develop your hardware and software in parallel without losing any functionality on the final production instrument.

How it works

With OpenStand you get a whole system and full support from Prior's expert team. The process starts with a consultative meeting to understand your application and how OpenStand could improve your system performance, or enable the realization of novel or correlative imaging methods.

Benefits of OpenStand customized solutions

Cost-efficient

With OpenStand you buy the exact configuration and components you need for your application, keeping your costs down.

 

Speed to market

OpenStand's modular configuration enables fast prototyping for novel imaging techniques enabling shorter development cycles that can also evolve with your business requirements.

 

Easy automation

Choose the exact imaging components to suit your application from our vast portfolio of motorized and automated components.

 

Customized components

Specific requirements can be designed into your OpenStand by our in-house development team, without building a complete solution from scratch.

 

Expandable

An OpenStand system is an investment that grows with you: easily add new components when your needs change, or keep only the components you need as you transition to an OEM design.
