Tiled image acquisition
Step through a mosaic grid where flatness across travel decides whether tiles stay in focus.
Microscope stage replacement
Retrofit a motorised XY plane onto an existing microscope frame.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Carrier.L1010.XY to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Travel and resolution
- Travel range: 100 X 100 mm · Sensor Resolution: 2 nm
- Separate travel from resolution and both from repeatability. Repeatability is what an automated sequence actually depends on, and it is the figure most often absent from a headline specification.
- Drive and feedback
- Controller: MC-Newton.S series
- Pair open-loop mechanics with the specified high-voltage or inertial driver, and closed-loop variants with the controller their capacitive, strain-gauge or encoder feedback requires. Matching connectors do not guarantee electrical compatibility.
- Load and mounting
- Max. Payload (horizontal mounting): 4 kg
- Check the load rating in the orientation you will use it — a vertical or cantilevered load is a moment, not a mass — and match the base to an M6 pattern on a 25 mm grid or a 1/4"-20 pattern on a 1 inch grid.

Which controller does the Carrier.L1010.XY require?
Controller: MC-Newton.S series. Pair open-loop mechanics with the specified high-voltage or inertial driver, and closed-loop variants with the controller their capacitive, strain-gauge or encoder feedback requires. Matching connectors do not guarantee electrical compatibility.
What load can the Carrier.L1010.XY carry, and how does it mount?
Max. Payload (horizontal mounting): 4 kg. Check the load rating in the orientation you will use it — a vertical or cantilevered load is a moment, not a mass — and match the base to an M6 pattern on a 25 mm grid or a 1/4"-20 pattern on a 1 inch grid.
Specifying this part
What this model has to survive, and what it needs around it
Millimetre XY under a heavy sample
Planar carriers take the load — above 10 kg in the larger versions — while covering millimetres in XY. The choice against an objective scanner is whether you would rather move a heavy specimen or the optic looking at it.
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.
