Enhance Your Microscope from Manual to Automation with an XY Stage!

There are many underutilized microscopes with excellent optics that can create high-resolution images. The microscope might be an older model, a more recent system bought on a tight budget, or it might not satisfy the demands as they have changed. One possibility might be automating these microscopes with motorized stages to carry out more complex imaging investigations.   

Kensington Labs offer stage repair services to improve the accuracy and maximize the life of your product.



Advantages of Motorized Stages

 

Microscopes with motorized stages are used in life science and material science for a wide variety of applications and experiments kinds. When added to microscopes, motorized stages enable quick, smooth, and incredibly repeatable sample movement. When an experiment calls for the operator to make repeated, accurate movements over an extended period, using a manual stage can make this difficult or impracticable.


The repetitive movements required by manual stages, which can stress the joints in the fingers and wrist, are eliminated by motorized stages. With motorized stages, one may schedule movements in advance and incorporate the stage's placement into the imaging procedure. Ultimately, these stages enable more intricate, prolonged, and effective imaging. 


Advanced imaging work requires the high-quality imagery and precision that motorized stages provide.


This stage has been proven to be a great tool when quickly added into a manual microscope system in studies looking at the distribution of cancer biomarkers on the cell membrane. Thanks to the motorized stage, the researchers had a fantastic combination of great precision and a wide travel range.  

  

The XY Stage

  

The XY precision stage is one of the critical parts of microscope automation. This step offers a way to precisely and correctly move a sample into the optical axis of the device.


A variety of XY linear motor stages are produced by Kensington Labs, including:  

  • For inverted microscopes, XY linear motor stages  
  • For inverted microscopes, XY stages  
  • For upright microscopes, XY stages  

Applications where XY motorized stages could be advantageous for an experiment include:

  • Routine scanning and processing with the highest level of precision  
  • Setting up numerous samples  
  • Imaging of live cells  
  • Testing for high-point pressure  
  • loading and unloading wafers  

Increased operator productivity and sample throughput result from switching from a manual microscope to one that is entirely motorized and has an XY stage. Additionally, a more advanced motorized system will frequently offer superior calibration since several steps can offer data on the sample's position relative to an objective lens.  


Conclusion  


Any researcher or scientist can increase the capabilities of their present microscope by using a Newport stage repair from Kensington Labs. We offer a broad product array of stages for all major microscope models. These stages are designed for various uses, including routine scanning and position and high-precision scanning.
