Original Press Release:
Smart Stage with Embedded Controller is New, Compact Solution for Automated Microscope Focus
Ideal for rapid development of automated microscope-based instruments needing small size, high precision
Victor, NY – Sept. 25, 2018 – New Scale Technologies, Inc. (www.newscaletech.com) has introduced a compact linear positioning stage targeting embedded microscopes in automated instruments for in-vitro diagnostics, next-generation sequencing, digital cell morphology and pathology, 3D imaging, cell sorting and counting, microelectronics inspection, and other applications where small size and high precision are essential.
The M3-LS-3.4 Linear Smart Stage has all control electronics embedded inside the stage. No external controller is needed, resulting in the smallest system size for instrument designers. The controller accepts high-level motion commands via direct digital interface, for fastest system integration and time to market.
The complete stage including controller is only 32 x 32 x 11 mm. The reduced-voltage piezoelectric microstage operates on 6 VDC and requires no high-voltage isolation.
