Proscan III Microscope Automation System
The system is capable of measuring distances and labeling filter wheel positions.
Prior Scientific introduces the ProScan III Microscope Automation System. The
system is capable of controlling up to 16 axes including a motorized stage, focus
drive, 3 filter wheels and 3 shutters, Prior Scientific reports. According
to the company, the ProScan microscope system’s improved processor
provides up to a 250% increase in stage speed. Communication to the
controller is through a USB with direct HID connection, making the unit both Windows-
and Mac-compatible. The programmable TLL can control the movements of a
stage, focus motor, filter wheels and shutters for fast analogue interfacing
and camera control. The company reports that the Interactive Control Center
provides centralized manual control of all equipment. The screen provides
positional feedback while the joystick, buttons and digital pots control
accessories such as a stage, focus drive, filter wheels, and shutters. New
features in the center allow the user to measure distances, label
filter-wheel positions with dye names (e.g., DAPI
(4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC),
etc.) and take control of the stage for intricate movements.
