The Prior Scientific HLD117 precision motorised stage for microscopy for inverted research microscopes set new standards for convenience and top performance. The HLD117 linear stage motor floats over a magnetic track providing a near frictionless, ultra-smooth movement allowing a wide range of scanning speeds (1 µm/sec up to 300 mm/sec) to be achieved. The HLD117 has superb repeatability (±1.15 µm), high resolution (±0.05 µm) and exceptional accuracy (0.045 µm per mm of travel), along with 50 nm encoders as standard. A 96 well plate can be scanned in about 15 seconds using a HLD117). Te flat top surface of the stage is completely free of obstruction. This provides a highly ergonomic platform with exceptionally easy access to the sample area.
