BioPrecision2 Motorized Stages
for Upright Microscopes

Designed for Upright Microscopes

For upright microscope applications the BioPrecision2 stages feature lightweight, efficient design without sacrificing precision and performance. The working height of the stage is specifically designed to be compatible with Köhler illumination with high aperture condensers. The extra large sub-stage aperture provides troublefree clearance for large sub-stage condensers. The wide specimen insert configuration allows for free use of high magnification short working distance objectives without risk of interference. Performance is assured with optional high resolution linear encoders to provide the highest precision without affecting microscope usability. Finally, the unique LEP mounting system ensures that the stage mounts to each microscope at the correct height and with proper clearance.

The BioPrecision2 Difference

BioPrecision2 stages represent the state of the art for microscope positioning. The design is the product of more than 20 years experience with precision positioning for microscopy. Proprietary features make the stage lighter and more precise while maintaining focus on ergonomics and microscope compatibility. The BioPrecision2 technology features a stepper motor driven precision ballscrew providing a minimum step resolution of 50nm. Speed performance is not compromised with high resolution. Maximum speed in the standard configuration is 60mm/sec. All BioPrecision2 stages utilize corrosion resistant stainless steel hardware, precision ground crossed roller bearings and low detent stepper motors with CNC machined aircraft grade aluminum parts anodized to strict military specifications.
