The OptiScan™II motorized stage system is the latest in a long line of automated microscopy systems designed and manufactured by Prior Scientific. OptiScan™II is ideally suited to routine applications requiring an affordable combination of quality and reliability. Motorized stages, focusing mechanisms, filter wheels and shutters can be combined to match your specific needs, providing unmatched flexibility and a simple path to future upgrades.

At the heart of the OptiScan™II system is the more compact and more powerful ES10 controller. OptiScan™II is compatible with many of the world's leading image analysis packages ensuring simple and seamless integration between software and hardware. OptiScan™II controllers are supplied with a software development toolkit that includes comprehensive DLL, VB demo program and a full complement of ASCII commands. The software developer can utilize either the USB or the RS232 serial port for software communications. Uniquely, the OptiScan™II controller can be used to drive a motorized stage, a focus motor, up to two filter wheels and three shutters while new motor drive technology ensures significantly quieter and smoother motion. The 'plug & play' facility provides automatic configuration of system components making system set up very easy. The onboard flash memory enables simple firmware upgrades from your own PC.

OptiScan™II stages are ideally suited to routine imaging applications. Using anti-backlash precision lead screws and accurate stepper motors, OptiScan™II combines reliability with the highest performance in its class. Semi-Adjustable limit switches are provided as standard and stages are available to fit most upright and inverted microscopes. OptiScan™II stages are compatible with the full range of Prior specimen holders allowing examination of the widest variety of sample types such as glass slides, multiwell plates, petri dishes and mounted metallurgical specimens. OptiScan™II stages provide fast, smooth positioning without vibration thanks to a unique S-curve acceleration algorithm.

Applications involving microscope automation are many and varied. OptiScan™II was designed with this in mind and the result is the most flexible system commercially available. OptiScan™II components can be configured in many different ways meaning that systems can be tailored to match your exact requirements. If your needs change you can rest assured that OptiScan™II offers a simple path to future upgrades.
