XY Microscope Gliding Stage

• Gliding stage for inspection systems such as stereo microscopes or video microscopes.
• Medium gliding stage measures 380x230mm (14-5/16 x 9-1/16 inch) with 300x200mm (11-13/16 x 7-7/8 inch) XY travel.
• Manual stage provides smooth and controlled movement when viewing specimens under a microscope, without needing to operate gears.
• Ideal for moving large parts underneath a microscope. The glass window provides access for bottom illumination, for specimen that need lighting underneath the stage.
• Larger size available.

This heavy duty gliding stage weighs 12 kg (28 lbs). The precision-machined bevel-cut gearing allows fine, controlled movement along the entire 300x200mm travel in both the X and Y axis.

It offers smooth motion for precise specimen positioning and controlled movement of parts underneath a microscope. Increases overall user efficiency.

XY Mechanical Stage

An XY microscope gliding stage is a specialized component in microscopy that facilitates precise and controlled movement of specimens or samples in both the horizontal X and Y axes. Here are the key features and details associated with an XY microscope gliding stage:

1. XY Movement:
   • Allows controlled movement in both the horizontal X and Y axes.
   • Enables users to navigate the microscope slide or specimen with high precision.
2. Gliding Mechanism:
   • Incorporates a gliding or sliding mechanism for smooth and precise motion.
   • The gliding mechanism reduces friction, allowing for fine adjustments during specimen positioning.
3. Manual or Motorized Operation:
   • May be designed for manual operation, where the user makes adjustments using knobs or handles.
   • In some cases, it can be motorized, allowing for automated and programmable movements.
4. Compatibility with Microscopes:
   • Designed to be compatible with various microscope models.
   • Ensures easy integration with the microscope system for coordinated observations.
5. Sample Holder/Platform:
   • Features a platform or holder where the microscope slide or specimen is placed.
   • The design may include securing mechanisms to hold the specimen in place during movement.
6. Applications:
   • Used in various microscopy applications, including biological research, materials science, and other fields where precise specimen positioning is crucial.
   • Valuable for tasks requiring detailed examination, imaging, or measurements.
7. Versatility:
   • Provides versatility in terms of accommodating different sample sizes and types.
   • Allows for incremental movements to navigate specific regions of interest.
8. Build Quality:
   • Constructed with materials and precision components to ensure stability and repeatability of movements.

An XY microscope gliding stage is an essential tool for researchers and scientists working in microscopy. It enhances the capabilities of the microscope by providing the means to precisely position and navigate specimens, enabling detailed observation and analysis. The gliding stage’s versatility and precision make it a valuable asset in various scientific disciplines.
