BioPoint 2

The BioPoint 2 is the second generation value priced automation solution from Ludl Electronic Products. Specifically designed for productivity enhancement, the stage system is carefully designed to provide high performance for routine applications at a reasonable cost. Unique design features that were specifically developed for the BioPoint 2 stage improve the repeatability, resolution and ease of use. The BioPoint 2 stage features a Teflon coated leadscrew with a proprietary drive nut for long life, reduced hysterisis and higher repeatability. In utilizing the Tefl on coated leadscrew, maintenance is virtually eliminated.
The hard-anodized finish on the stage resists wear from daily use and is resistant to discoloration from chemicals or harsh environments.
The BioPoint 2 systems are based on the popular MAC 5000 controller system. The MAC 5000 controller provides enhanced modularity and flexibility for the addition of accessories such as programmable focus drives and filter wheels.
The ease of use, integration and expandability make the BioPoint 2 system a high value automation system and an intelligent choice for microscope automation.

For Upright Microscopes

The BioPoint 2 upright stage provides smooth, reliable positioning without interfering with conventional microscope operation. The design of the stage allows full access for specimen placement; microscope controls and adjustments are also easily accessible. The very low profi le of the stage eliminates interference with microscope objective lenses; even the large diameter, short working distance, with high numerical apertures.

The universal mounting system mounts the stage to nearly any commonly available microscope. The exchangeable mounting ring provides the correct mounting and clearance to ensure that the condenser can be properly focused and adjusted.
