The Manual MicroStage-LT is the "long travel" version of Mad City Labs' popular micrometer coarse positioning stages developed for use with high resolution piezo nanopositioners. Two design changes distinguish the Manual MicroStage-LT from the standard version: longer XY travel (up to 50mm) and an aperture design which allows rotation of the microscope's objective nosepiece. Like the standard model, continuous internal position locking combined with excellent stability makes this stage an ideal base for high resolution piezo nanopositioning stages. While not as "low profile" as the standard Manual MicroStage, the Manual MicroStage-LT has been carefully dimensioned to locate the top surface of the stage within the microscope's focal range. Nanopositioning stages with re-entrant sample holders can be used on top of the Manual MicroStage-LT while maintaining the ability to change objective lenses. Mounting is available for the Mad City Labs RM21™ Microscope Platform and all other popular inverted research microscopes.
Features
50mm total motion on XY axes
Allows objective nosepiece rotation
Manual micrometer position adjustment
1 μm vernier scales
Integrated, continuous position locking
Fits inverted microscopes and can be customized for other optical setups
Highly stable
