Z-Deck manual XY travel platform

Prior Scientific’s Z-Deck platform is a robust and stable manual X-Y translation platform, specially designed for large-scale upright microscopes used in electrophysiology and neuroscience. It provides a large surface area for setting up complex experiments including micromanipulators, controlled environment chambers and other instruments. The height of the platform is easily adjustable using pneumatic piston towers, allowing rapid movement from one imaging height to another. The surface has 6 mm holes spaced 25 mm apart, and the platform is compatible with most anti-vibration tables. The Z-Deck can be used with Olympus BX 51WI/61WI, Zeiss Axio Examiner, Nikon FN1/Ni and Leica microscopes.
