H117 Stage
4”x3” Travel (114mm x 75mm), Programmable,
Motorized Stepper Stage for Leica, Nikon, Olympus and
Zeiss Inverted Microscopes
Features
Minimum step size (resolution) of the
stage is 0.01 microns, depending on
the controller configuration
Stage inserts for slides, petri dishes,
microtitre plates, well plates, flasks,
metallurgical specimens, slides, and
haemocytometers
Flat top design facilitates the
use of micromanipulators,
environmental chambers and
robotic loaders
Travel 114 mm x 75 mm
The newest version of Prior's H117 stage
maximizes access to the nosepiece for
correction collar adjustment. Modified
drive boxes occupy a fraction of the space
of previous models providing easy access
to the nosepiece area of the microscope.
The entire travel range of the nosepiece is
unobstructed allowing for travel through-
out the focus range with more than ade-
quate clearance from the stage. By mount-
ing all of the drive components below the
top plate, the H117 provides easy access
for micromanipulators, environmental
chambers and robotic loaders. The stage
allows for scanning using a very broad
range of sample holders, including
microtitre plates, slide holders, petri dishes,
well plates, flasks, haemocytometers and
metallurgical sample holders. The H117
ProScan™ stage series has a completely
flat top for easy access, and includes the
patented Intelligent Scanning Technology
(IST)®. In conjunction with extensive testing,
Intelligent Scanning Technology
allows each stage to be pre-pro-
grammed with a unique set of operating
characteristics particular to that stage to
ensure optimum performance. IST (also
available on H101A and H107 models)
allows the ProScan™III controller to make
any required adjustments to maintain
superior orthogonally and metric accuracy.
The H117 stage features:
• Flat top design facilitates the use of
micromanipulators, environmental
chambers and robotic loaders
• Travel 114 mm x 75 mm (4" x 3")
• Optional 50nm linear scales provide
the highest precision available
• Minimum step size (resolution) of the
stage is 0.01 microns, depending on
the controller configuration
• Stage inserts for slides, petri dishes,
microtitre plates, well plates, flasks,
metallurgical specimens, slides, and
haemocytometers
