MICROSCOPY WHITE PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES
MICROSCOPY PRODUCTS
The P-725.xCDE2 from PI is a high-precision positioner and scanner for microscope objectives.
The A-142 from PI is a high-performance compact voice coil linear stage featuring air bearing guides. This product is maintenance free with an unlimited lifetime, perfect for highly dynamic applications with high duty cycles and tight volumetric constraints.
The filter wheel system can be provided as a standalone unit with a ProScan® controller. A large selection of microscope adapters are available to mount the wheels to either excitation or emission ports.
The NanoSensor® is a non-contact position measuring system based on the principle of capacitance micrometry. Two sensor plates, a Target and a Probe, form a parallel plate capacitor, to be used in metrology, stage control, microscopy, and many other applications.
The Lumen 200 from Prior Scientific retains the spectral output of traditional mercury (HBO) bulbs, yet provides vastly improved light quality. This metal halide lamp is ideal for use throughout a vast array of fluorescence applications, and can replace an HBO bulb with a minimum of both cost and disruption to the existing set-up.
Prior Scientific's PL-100/PL-200 Slide Loaders are advanced systems for automatic slide handling in a variety of microscope applications. In addition to the slide retaining design of the slide racks, a range of further safety features have been included in the units to minimize the risk of damage to slides.
Prior Scientific's NanoScan-SP range of Piezo driven stages are compatible with the Prior motorized stage as well as many common microscopes when using appropriate adapter plates. Applications for this series include live cell imaging, surface analysis, water inspection, and more.
Prior Scientific introduces the H101, the latest and most innovative motorized stage for upright microscopes. Benefits of the ProScan H101F include a completely flat top plate design, providing unlimited obstruction free space for objective and nose piece rotation.
