XYZ H189 motorised platform

The H189 motorised platform from Prior Scientific is a high-precision XYZ base designed for advanced microscopy: confocal, 2-photon/3-photon and in vivo or in vitro imaging. Its open design provides ample space for manipulators, probes and electrophysiology probes, while ensuring high stability. It incorporates motors on the X, Y and Z axes, offering motorised movement of 50 mm on each axis, a load capacity of up to 25 kg in Z, and is easily adapted to imaging software via the ProScan III controller.

Features of the XYZ H189 motorised platform

  • Motorised XYZ movement of 50 mm on each axis (X, Y, Z)
  • Load capacity: 25 kg in Z, and supports up to 100 kg in XY
  • Adjustable sample height, from 79.5 mm to 410 mm
  • Removable metric platforms for easy sample preparation
  • Open design for integration with manipulators, pipettes or electrodes
  • Extended compatibility with 2P/3P/confocal microscopy and animal research
  • Control via ProScan III system, compatible with most imaging software
  • Ability to integrate a Queensgate Z piezo module (optional)
