| Description | The PZU-2000 XYZ stage has been specifically designed to provide a high resolution, and highly repeatable, means of controlling the X, Y, and Z position of the microscope stage. The XY axes derive their precise control through the use of closed-loop DC servomotors employing high-resolution rotary The PZU-2000 XYZ stage has been specifically designed to provide a high resolution, and highly repeatable, means of controlling the X, Y, and Z position of the microscope stage. The XY axes derive their precise control through the use of closed-loop DC servomotors employing high-resolution rotary encoders for positioning feedback. By using closed-loop control for the stage position, there is no chance that the stage will become lost, as can occur with open-loop micro-stepped stages after a number of moves and direction changes. The XY stage utilizes crossed-roller slides, high-precision lead screws, and zero-backlash miniature geared DC servomotors for smooth and accurate motion. The top plate of the stage accepts standard K-size slide inserts that are available for any sample, i.e., slides, petrie dishes, multi-well plates, etc. The slide insert is moved in the Z-axis via a piezo element with a range of 150 µm with nanometer accuracy (300 µm & 500 µm range is also available). By moving the sample in the Z-plane, any objective can be used, eliminating twisting wires or needed spacers as required when a piezo element is put onto a single objective. The microprocessor-controlled MS-2000 control unit provides for RS-232 and USB communication with a host computer for control of the XYZ axis.
Features - Closed-loop control of the X, Y, and Z-axes for precise positioning and highly repeatable focusing
- Wide dynamic speed range with adjustable trapezoidal move profiles
- Smooth adjustable dual-range joystick control
- Backlit LCD display shows X, Y, and Z coordinates
- "Zero" and "Home" button for simple stand-alone operations
- Compact ergonomic tabletop control unit size is 6"D x 9"W x 3"H (9 x 23 x 16½ cm)
- Proven operation with many popular software packages

The stages utilize crossed-roller slides, precision lead-screws, and zero-backlash miniature geared DC servomotors for smooth and accurate motion. The units offer precise travel from 50 mm to 300 mm (2” to 12”). They can be used singly or stacked, vertically or horizontally, and can carry loads up to 4.5 Kg (10 lbs)....
