SIS XY Dual Axis Translation Stage / Lateral Adjuster & Custom Instrument / Tripod Mount

Features

• XY Stage with Central SM1-Threaded Hole for Imaging Applications
• 4.25" × 4.20" (108.0 mm × 106.7 mm) Mounting Platform
• Array of Mounting Options
  • 24 1/4"-20 (M6) Taps
  • 12 8-32 (M4) Taps (Compatible with SLH1 Microscope Slide Spring Clips)
  • 8 4-40 Taps for use with 30 mm or 60 mm Cage Components

The Low-Profile Translation Stage provides 1/2" (13 mm) of travel along X and Y, incorporates micrometers that have graduations at 0.001"/div (10 µm/div), and features a central Ø1" hole that is SM1 threaded (1.035"-40), allowing the stage to be used in imaging applications that require illumination from underneath the sample. Translation of the stage in both X and Y will not obstruct the Ø1" through hole. 

In addition to the SM1-threaded through hole, the platform also contains an array of 1/4"-20 (M6), 8-32 (M4), and 4-40 taps for mounting of samples and components. The eight 4-40 tapped holes are placed around the central through hole for use with our 30 mm or 60 mm cage systems, while the 8-32 (M4) tapped holes are ideal for mounting our SLH1 Microscope Slide Spring Clips (available below).

The SLH1 spring clips are designed to securely hold various sizes of microscope slides and test targets, and include two 8-32 (M4) threaded shoulder screws with a 3/32" (2.5 mm) hex socket for simple attachment to a variety of stages. Each clip is 2.51" (63.7 mm) long with a 0.20" (5.1 mm) wide tip and can be rotated 360° for easy access to, or positioning of, a slide. These clips come with 3 dowel pins, for use with the XYT1(/M) stage, that will center a 1" × 3" standard microscope slide over the Ø1" through hole.
