XY Stages (also referred to as XY Shifts) provide an essential correction function beneficial in performing sample transfer. XY stages permit up to +/- 1" of movement in both the X and Y axis directions. When used with a probe, the XY stage allows the probe location to shift while the probe angle remains unaffected.

The Nor-Cal Z Translators offer a functional, stable and compact design at an affordable price. These linear motion devices are frequently used in combination with Nor-Cal utility hats, differentially pumped rotary seals and rotary motion feedthroughs.

The XYZ Stage is the foundation of most sample transfer systems. With its' 3 axis positioning capabilities and numerous available options, and when combined with compatible accessory devices, the researcher is able to perform a wide range sample transfer and manipulation procedures.
