Prior Scientific has brought out the Proscan III Microscope Automation System.
The Proscan III has a compact and modular design capable of controlling up to 16 axes, including a motorised stage, focus drive, three filter wheels and three shutters.
Proscan III's processor provides up to a 250 per cent increase in stage speed.
The system has a small footprint, saves valuable workspace and eases the pressure on the limited space constraints in modern labs.
A USB with direct HID connection makes the unit both Windows and Mac compatible.
The Interactive Control Center (ICC) provides centralised manual control of all equipment.
The screen provides positional feedback while the joystick, buttons and digipots control accessories such as: a stage, focus drive, filter wheels and shutters.
New features in the centre allow the user to measure distances, label filter-wheel positions with dye names (for example DAPI and FITC) and take fine control of the stage for intricate movements.
Proscan III is suited to the most demanding imaging applications that require high accuracy, speed and repeatability, with the option to encode all axes.
