Zaber Technologies Logo
  • 50 mm up to 305 mm travel per axis
  • Up to 12 µm accuracy; 2 µm repeatability; 85 mm/s speed
  • Easily adjustable non-contact hall sensor limit switches
  • Supported by µManager and MetaMorph® Microscopy Automation & Image Analysis Software
  • Designed for use with an X-MCC Series stepper motor controller or any 2-phase stepper motor controller
  • With Auto Detect, the X-MCC controller configures its settings automatically for the connected peripheral
  • Custom versions available

Features:

1. Various adaptors allow mounting to most common microscope platforms and standard M6 breadboards.
2. Quiet smooth operation at up to 85 mm/s.
3. 50 x 50 mm to 305 x 305 mm of travel with 0.15 µm resolution.
4. Standard aperture sizes allow you to choose from many different inserts to suit your application. See our accessories page for more information. Compatible accessories have part numbers that start with AM.
5. Crossed roller bearings provide exceptionally smooth movement and virtually eliminate wear.
6. Low profile: 42 mm overall height.
7. Motor encoders allow closed-loop operation.

Zaber Technologies’ ASR-E series microscope stages combined with our X-MCC series multi-axis controllers are designed as replacements for manual stages on upright and inverted microscopes or for stand-alone operation as scanning stages. Set up is easy with Auto Detect. Once connected, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the ASR-E.

Mounting adaptors are available for breadboards and most common microscopes. Custom adaptors and plates are available upon request.
