Frequently Asked Questions
What is a motorized microscope stage used for?
A motorized microscope stage moves the sample precisely and automatically under the objective, enabling repeatable positioning, automated multi-field acquisition and high-throughput imaging for tasks such as large-area scanning and image tiling.
Which microscopes are Märzhäuser stages compatible with?
Märzhäuser stages, controllers and joysticks work with many different brands of microscope and can be adapted to your specific setup with custom-made stage accessories.
What is the difference between a measuring stage and a scanning stage?
Measuring stages are optimized for precise XY measurement of distances on a sample, while scanning stages are designed to move across large areas to capture and stitch many fields into a single high-resolution image.
Do I need a controller and joystick to use a motorized stage?
Yes. A motorized stage is driven by a controller, and a joystick allows manual positioning. Clemex offers Tango controllers and integrates stage control directly into the image analysis software.
Can the stages be used for large-area or whole-slide scanning?
Yes. Motorized scanning stages automatically acquire and stitch multiple fields of view, making them ideal for large-area mapping and whole-slide imaging.
Do Clemex microscope stages integrate with image analysis software?
Yes. Clemex integrates motorized stages with Clemex Vision image analysis software for automated acquisition, stage navigation and measurement.
