The Satscan-Micro is a range of motorised microscopy systems designed to provide extremely high resolution scans over wide areas of specimens.

These systems are suitable for almost any application including:

Histology, Cytology, Materials Science, Metallurgy, Polymer Science, IC Inspection, Wafer Inspection, Entomology, Botany, Histochemistry, Medical Pathology Screening, Component inspection etc

We provide microscope motorisation systems from these leading companies:

SmartDrive (inventors of Satscan)
One of Europe’s foremost motion control design and manufacture companies with products for science and industry.

SideDrive - unique low-cost, motorisation of an existing mechanical stage and focus mechanism on a microscope
This is a clever system which attaches motors to the existing XY stage controls and focus knob of a microscope.  This approach is both low cost and allows the user to use their existing stage and sample holders.  A camera mounted onto the microscope can acquire images and stich them into massive resolution images over large areas at the highest possible optical resolution.

Bespoke motorised microscope systems
We can offer almost any type of motorised scanning microscope including microscope optics and cameras mounted on motorised gantries for scanning large objects as extremely high magnifications.

SmartStich  - a revolutionary, adaptive image stitching program
This is a truly remarkable image stitching program that gathers both mechanical position data from the stepper motors, encoder data from the encoders (if present) and then uses extremely clever algorithms to further check the images as they are stitched into a montage of images.  It is even possible to see a graphical map of the stitching correlation and interact with each image tile No other image stitching program even comes close to providing the top quality results achieved by SmartStich.

SmartDrive controllers - for microscope motorisation control, standalone or under software control
A robust range of customisable stepper motor controllers for use with multiple motors.

Microvision
A leading European developer of advanced image analysis tools for science and industry, renowned for the simple interfaces and attention to detail.

Archimed - motorised microscope control and image acquisition software with databasing
One of the most popular imaging programs in use across the world with excellent scalability and compatibility with a host of imaging and motorised microscopy components.


Cartograph - Image stitching with integration with image analysis programs
A highly competent and robust image stitching program which is compatible with motorised microscopy components and a host of image analysis applications.

HistoLab - image stitching and automated image analysis
A truly comprehensive automated image analysis program with full support for motorised stages and focus systems
 

Objective Imaging
Europe’s larger manufacturer of microscope motorisation controller hardware.

Oasis - Microscope motorisation controllers
A range of powerful multi-motor PCI controller  boards particularly well suited to microscopy applications with excellent software support.

Surveyor - High speed specimen scanning software
A first rate, high speed microscope motorised stage and focussing control software with rapid image stitching, ideal for histological and cytological image stitching applications.

Prior
One of the largest manufacturers of microscope motorisation hardware with many innovative products.

Proscan - Motorised microscope stage and focus controllers
a highly popular range of multi-axis stepper motor controllers.

Proscan Stages - Motorised stages, focus, shutters and filter wheels
Probably the world’s most popular motorised stage and motorised focus systems.

PL200 - A revolutionary Slide loading system for histology and cytology laboratories
For high throughput, slide scanning applications, this device is simply the best on the market and has to be seen to be believed.

Media Cybernetics
The world’s largest scientific image analysis and scientific camera manufacturing companies

Image Pro Plus - the world’s most comprehensive scientific imaging software with full support for microscope automation

AutoQuant - quantitative 3D software using  numerous motorisation components on a microscope
