Microscopy Applications

Embedded microscope with automated positioning and focus

Adding an embedded microscope function to your medical or industrial instrument has never been easier.

The M3-LS-3.4 Linear Smart Stage is a complete micro positioning module with the controller inside. No separate electronics are needed. This gives you the smallest size and fastest integration into your microscopy-based instrument.

Easily embed this linear “smart stage” in your smallest instruments without the need for multiple cables, high-voltage isolation, or special packaging of electronics.

The “smart stage” integrates a patented SQUIGGLE piezoelectric motor, drive electronics, absolute linear position sensor, crossed-roller bearings, and microprocessor with closed-loop firmware.

The complete stage including controller is only 32 X 32 X 11 mm. A single cable provides 6 VDC and serial digital commands via SPI or I2C.

Medical Applications

Instruments for:

  • In vitro diagnostics
  • Next-generation sequencing
  • Digital cell morphology
  • Automated digital pathology
  • 3D imaging
  • Cell sorting and counting (cytometry)

Industrial Applications

  • Any instrument where small size and high precision matter
