ProScan HE38 (Nikon) Encoded Motorized XY Stage
Automated Stage With 8 Slide Capacity For Nikon Upright Microscopes (240 mm x 71 mm)
The HE38 is an encoded, motorized XY stage adapted for Nikon upright microscopes.
It uses a 2 mm pitch ballscrew and 200-step motor drive to cover its large travel area quickly, and features Prior’s patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST) to optimize stage accuracy and linearity. Long-range repeatability is also enhanced by linear encoders providing closed-loop positioning.
The HE38 (Nikon) fits up to eight 75 mm x 25 mm microscope slides and offers extended lateral travel for imaging large samples, such as PCBs, or arrays of multiple samples.
This stage is compatible with Nikon NIS Elements software (appropriate package required).
See the product compatibility tab for the full list of options available.
