10μm resolution
Compatable with all side loading Instec stages
Sample mount for both LC Cell holders and microscope slides
The transmitted light apertures of Instec hot and cold stages are typically kept relatively small in order to maximize temperature uniformity of the sample. Because of this, a microscope X-Y stage is of limited use and thus it is better to move the sample inside the hot and cold stage rather than the hot stage itself. Therefore Instec offers optical X-Y Micropositioners to extend the capability of any stage model that features side sample loading. These micropositioners feature micrometer heads with 10μm resolution and include a mounting adapter for Instec LC cell holders and glass microscope slides.
• XY positioners can be added to side-loading stage models for precise positioning of samples within the viewing aperture
• Useable with glass microscope slides, LC cell, and sample holders with mounting adapters
• Maintain better sample thermal uniformity by keeping the transmission aperture small and moving the sample instead
• Micrometer heads with 10 μm resolution and ±5 mm of travel from the center position
• Side-loading stages come standard with a microscope slide holder which is useable with an XY positioner
• Kit includes a tray marked with a guide for positioning the sample area to be in line with the stage’s aperture
