Toepassingen

Snelle Z-sectionering

Beweeg het objectief in plaats van het monster, zodat optische coupes zonder verstoring van levende preparaten worden doorlopen.

Autofocus en focusvolging

Houd de focus vast tegen thermische drift bij opnames van minuten tot uren.

Lichtvlak- en multifotonstapels

Neem Z-stapels op met een snelheid bepaald door de scanner, niet door het microscoopframe.

Specifying this part

What this model has to survive, and what it needs around it

Driving the objective rather than the sample

Moves the lens along the optical axis for focus stacks and z-series, leaving a liquid sample or mounted cell undisturbed. Travel options run 100, 200 and 400 µm; settling time rather than range is usually the limiting specification.

Vacuum and non-magnetic versions

Most of the range is orderable as .HV (high vacuum), .UHV (ultra-high vacuum) or .NM (non-magnetic). The suffix changes materials, cabling and bake compatibility rather than the mechanics, so specify it against the chamber the stage will live in.
