PROSCAN
The Prior ProScan™II system sets new standards in automated microscopy. Modular by design, a wide range of stages is available for most modern upright and inverted microscopes. Stages may also be adapted to fit other optical inspection systems. The ProScan™II controller represents the latest in motor control technology and provides a wide range of advanced features designed for the most demanding applications; not least of which is the capability to control a stage, focusing motor, up to three filter wheels and three shutters all from a single controller. In addition, the ProScan™II offers USB and serial communications, four TTL inputs and outputs, encoder feedback for closed loop operation, an optional 4th axis, an advanced autofocus routine and a comprehensive high level software command set including dll's. Filter wheels, shutters plus a variety of control accessories such as joysticks and digipots complete the ProScan™II product range.

ProScan™II Advanced Controller
Like the ProScan&tradeII range of motorized stages, this advanced controller is designed and manufactured by Prior Scientific.The compact unit enables control of a motorized stage, motorized focus, three filter wheels and three shutters with the speed, accuracy and precision demanded by advanced imaging applications. A fourth axis is also available to enable sample rotation or other custom applications. For triggering camera shutters, relays, linescan cameras or other peripheral devices the unit offers four TTL inputs and outputs.The controller is designed with simplicity in mind. System control using high-level software commands is possible via one of two RS232 ports or the new high speed USB interface. The ProScan™II controller has been specifically designed for control by third party software products and the new DLL ensures simple integration. For stand-alone use, without software, the system can be fully programmed and controlled via the Touch Screen Keypad

High Speed Filter Wheels and Shutters
The Filter Wheel system delivers smooth, high speed operation and changes filters in as little as 55ms. Two wheels are available to accept ten 25mm or eight 32mm diameter filters. The filter wheel can be fitted to the excitation and emission ports of your microscope and up to 2 filter wheels and 3 shutters can be operated from 1 controller via a serial port or an optional filter wheel keypad. An optional sliding filter holder can be fitted for neutral density or infrared filters

Motorized Focus Control
ProScan™II is ideal for applications where motorized focus control is needed. Step sizes as small as 0.002µm give excellent resolution for precise focus and repeatable positioning in the Z-axis. For large movements when speed is required, the ProScan™II focus motor can be driven at speeds of up to 20 revs/s. An optional probe style encoder feedback system provides the highest accuracy and repeatability available

|
Z Scale Probe
Prior's probe style encoder feedback system provides the highest accuracy (0.2 microns) available for your motorized focus system. Resolution for the Z scale probe is 0.05 microns. Available for both the OptiScan™ and ProScan™II, the Z scale probe system includes encoder feedback electronics for the controller, an encoder probe with controller interface cable and a universal mounting bracket kit

ERGOSCAN
Increase productivity and reduce operator fatigue with the new ErgoScan™ Motorized Stage System The ErgoScan™ System significantly improves the Ergonomics of any new or existing microscope by eliminating the stretching for focus knobs and manual turning of stage controls. All of the stage movements and focus mechanisms are controlled by a low resistance proportional joystick and simple hand roller! The controls are easy to operate, precise and quiet! The ErgoScan™...an effective solution to the stresses and strains of traditional microscopy – at a cost that won't strain your budget!
