Motorised X, Y, Z stage for 3DMS experimental chamber

Sutter Instrument’s 3DMS motorised stage transforms an MP-285 micromanipulator into a 3-axis motorised stage for experimental chambers. It allows precise movements of 25 mm in the X, Y and Z axes, with sub-micrometric positioning and remote computer control. Its compact design makes it easy to add manipulators and other equipment to the microscope at the same time, optimising space and flexibility for 3D imaging and incubation chamber experiments. The stage can be mounted on an MT-75 stand, an upright microscope or an MD stand for an inverted microscope, offering stability, programming of complex movement sequences and continuous display of axis positions.
