Smart controller of motorised sample stages for SEM and SEM-FIB, up to 6 motors or steppers, including touch alarm and hardware limits, with direct joystick control or software control over USB port.
Stage controller increases efficiency of microscope operation with
High-speed repositioning to coordinates, screen point or saved locations, including backslash correction
Automatic sample reorientation with rotation and displacement corrections
Integrated touch alarm and safe zone limits, including hardware retraction on touch
In combination with imaging systems, the stage controller enables large area techniques
Record automatic data for image stitching over large areas.
Acquire sparse sampled image data for statistic analysis.
Return to acquisition position for further inspection.
