ProScan™ II MOTORIZED STAGE SYSTEM

The ProScan™ II system is ideally suited for the most demanding imaging applications where high precision and accuracy are essential. A ProScan™ II Motorized Stage System consists of: a ProScan™ II controller (or optional Prior PCI High Speed Controller), a compatible motorized stage from the ProScan™ II Motorized Stage line and a range of accessories such as filter wheels, shutters, joysticks, focus control, touchscreen keypads, z scale probes and specimen holders to further enhance your system. The ProScan™ II System is compatible with most third party imaging software products and is easily integrated with existing systems.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS for the ProScan™ II System include: Image tiling, time lapse studies, precision scanning, industrial and semiconductor inspection, high throughput screening applications, 3d imaging, deconvolution, and fluorescent image data acquisition techniques such as FRET, FRAP, TIRF, etc.

High Speed Filter Wheels and Shutters

The Filter Wheel system delivers smooth, high speed operation and changes filters in as little as 55ms. Two wheels are available to accept ten 25mm or eight 32mm diameter filters. The filter wheel can be fitted to the excitation and emission ports of your microscope and up to two filter wheels on the OptiScan™ systems, or three filter wheels on the ProScan™II systems. Both systems are capable of operating three shutters from a single controller via a serial port or an optional filter wheel keypad. An optional sliding filter holder can be fitted for neutral density or infrared filters. Up to three shutters (HF200) can be mounted directly to a microscope illuminator, a camera port or used in conjunction with a filter wheel. Control is via a serial port or the optional filter wheel keypad.
