SPECIFICATIONS FOR OUR AS3000B 3-AXIS MOTOR-DRIVEN
MICROSCOPE STAGES FOR UPRIGHT MICROSCOPES

The Autoscan AS3000B microscope stage is our time-proven standard stage. It features superior mechanical accuracy, stability and general performance.

Instead of using a stepper motor to achieve focus drive, the AS3000 uses dc motors with optical encoders on all three axes. In combination with the EL300 electronic controller, this stage achieves outstanding motion control. It is the finest microscope stage in the world, and incorporates integral focus. The EL300 electronic controller comes with a universal power supply, which will automatically adapt to ac supply voltages between 85 to 264 Volts and a range of supply frequencies from 47 to 400 Hz. Where possible, we supply electrical plugs which match those in use in our client countries. We use the information shown in a table on the website of Korjo Pty. Ltd., a major manufacturer of adapter plugs and other travel products. Please check out the table shown under "Adapter Guide" at http://www.korjo.com and let us know if there are any inaccuracies for your area.

Please contact us for details of our other stage models.
