With the new release of Zeiss Axiovision 4.8.2 and Microtoolbox (MTB) 1.8.1, users of Axiovision can now select Prior scanning stages in combination with the Proscan III stepper motor controller.
In close collaboration with Carl Zeiss Microimaging, new controller firmware has been developed by Prior to enable direct stage programming through Axiovision.
Proscan III and Axiovision compatibility is assured by installation of a stage-configuration file for Windows.
This file is available as a free download from the Prior website.
Hardware components including the stage controller are automatically detected by the MTB on startup.
Prior scanning stages and the Proscan III controller can then be selected from the hardware configuration menu, providing access to a range of stage options for different Zeiss microscopes.
