SENSAPEX uMs motorised microscope
The uMs SENSAPEX microscope is a fully motorised system based on the Nikon FN-1 upright microscope, guaranteeing extreme precision.
Equipped with a motorised closed-loop focus control, it offers a range of 40 mm with a resolution of 4 nm.
The system comprises the uMs-FN1 upright microscope with motorised Z-focus, a 2-position uMs-OBJ motorised objective changer, a uMs-MXY motorised XY translation platform and an uMs-FXY ultra-stable fixed XY stage that can accommodate up to 8 uMp-3 manipulators.
The uMs-BRE part is used to install the motorised platform, and the whole assembly is controlled by the uMs-MCU 4-axis controller.
Depending on the configuration, the working distance varies from 185 to 220 mm (fixed plate directly on anti-vibration table) to 226.5 to 271.5 mm (plate installed on motorised platform).
This modular, robust system meets the needs of the most demanding electrophysiology and advanced imaging applications.
Features of the SENSAPEX uMs motorised microscope
– Motorised microscope frame with closed-loop control.
– Ideal for patch-clamp configurations and automated stations.
– Control via uMp-TSC2 touch screen or uMp-RW3 rotary controller.
– Highly stable motorised XY translation.
– Adaptable modules for upright or inverted microscopy.
– Fully integrated with SENSAPEX micromanipulation systems.
