Z-INSERT
The beauty of the Z-INSERT is that it fits directly any standard 160mm x 110mm opening (K-type frame) which is used on most motorized stages provided by third party manufacturers. It provides a 128.5 mm by 86.5 mm opening that accepts directly any multi-well microplates with an SBS Standard 127.5 x 85 mm (5″ x 3 1/3”) footprint, for example, the 96-well microplate.
As an option, universal sample holder, rotary slide holders or Petri dish holder can be provided.
The Z-INSERT is compatible with the following stages :
- ASI – MS-2000 Flat Top XY/XYZ motorized stage (a special version is needed for non-flat top stage)
- Marzhauzer – Scanning Stage SCAN IM 120×80
- Prior – K type Frame
- Ludl – BioPrecison2
- Zeiss – K type Frame
- Nikon – Ti XY motorized stage (requires the Nikon Adapter plate, in order to reduce the aperture)
- Olympus – IX3-SSU (requires the Olympus adapter plate, in order to reduce the aperture)
- Leica – Regular 3-plate stage
The Z-INSERT is also compatible with most top-mounted incubation chambers (Digital Pixel, Tokai Hit, Okolab…).
