MS-9500 XY Scanning Stage
The MS-9500 XY motorized stage system has a travel range of 9” by 4” (225 mm x 125 mm) and has been specifically designed to scan eight 25 x 75 mm slides at a time while providing a high resolution, and highly repeatable, means of controlling the X and Y position of the microscope stage. Seine hohe Auflösung und ausgezeichnete Wiederholgenauigkeit über den gesamten Verfahrbereich erhält der Tisch u.a. durch präzise Closed-Loop DC Servomotoren mit integrierten hochauflösenden rotatorischen Encodern zur Positionsrückmeldung. Optional linear encoders improve repeatability to less than 300 nm (typical) compared to the standard 700 nm rms rating, and improve resolution to 50 nm. Die Closed-Loop Steuerung schließt ein Verlust der Tischposition aus, wie es nach einer Anzahl Bewegungszyklen bei herkömmlichen Open-Loop Mikroschritt-Tischen der Fall sein kann. The microprocessor-controlled MS-2000 Control Unit provides for RS-232 and USB communication with a host computer.
