Microscope stage MT series

XYmotorizedmanual

The MT-1078/MT-2078/MT-2278 systems consist of a X-Y translator and a large fixed stage. The MT-78-FS is designed for users who prefer a large platform stage for their experiments. The stage provides solid, stable support and ample space to attach manipulators and other instruments as needed. The rigid aluminum top plate sits firmly on two MT-75 gantry style stands. These stands provide height adjustment and sturdy attachment to the user’s vibration tables. At the core of the MT-1078 is a manual X-Y translation table, the MT-500. The translator is designed to allow movement of a microscope’s optics with respect to the fixed stage. The translator allows visualization and/or imaging of multiple tissue locations while maintaining multiple stable recordings from the preparation. The MT-2078/MT-2278 systems use a motorized translator. At the core of the MT-2000/MT-2200 system is the MT-800 stepper-motor driven X-Y translation table. The motors can be operated either by the popular MP-285 manipulator controller (MT-2078) or the dual manipulator controller MPC-200 (MT-2278). A rotary optical encoder (ROE) accepts user input to the motorized translator and can be placed in any convenient location in your setup. Either controller gives the user smooth, highresolution control of motion. The MP-285 controller offers extensive on-board robotic functionality and a serial computer interface for PC control.
