The STGAXIORP is a low cost stage that offers 100mm x 80mm of motorized travel in a Zeiss Axiovert 135 stand specific custom stage. This is not an adaptation of a stage to the microscope. It is a custom designed stage for the Zeiss Axiovert 135 microscope stand. The rack and pinion X, Y stage provides 15um repeatability with submicron resolution. The motorized Z-axis drive easily attaches to the microscope and provides up to .05um resolution. The Axiovert RP Stage system provides precise control of the X, Y axis speed through an exceptionally smooth joystick. The speed is proportional to joystick deflection with velocities from as slow as single steps to full traverse speed. Remote focus of the Z-axis is provided via a focusing knob on the controller. The unit also provides three user selectable sensitivities for the joystick and Z-encoder for added control. The unit can be controlled manually or through standard RS-232 commands. The controller provides a display of X, Y and Z coordinates locally on an LED display. These coordinates are also available via RS-232. The Axiovert RP Stage is an economical unit that works well in a number of applications. Custom versions and modifications can be made for a nominal price.
