Operating The Motorized Xy Stage - Nikon Eclipse Ni-E Instruction Manual

Operating the Motorized XY Stage

5.2
In order to use the motorized XY stage, the motorized XY stage
must be connected to the motorized XY stage controller and the
motorized XY stage controller must be connected to the
connector box.
A specimen holder can hold one or two specimens. Open the
claw of its moving part and place the specimen onto the
specimen holder, gently stowing the claw back to fix the
specimen. 35 mm - 60 mm tissue can also be observed by
attaching the NI-SH-D Dish Holder.
The motorized XY stage is moved horizontally with the ergo
controller or joystick controller. See the Ni-E (Focusing Stage
System) instruction manual for details of the ergo and joystick
controllers.
Horizontal movement limit position
A limit position of X direction and Y direction movement of
the motorized XY stage is set as shown below as default.
X-axis max. value: 34000.000 μm
X-axis min. value: -34000.000 μm
Y-axis max. value: 27000.000 μm
Y-axis min. value: -27000.000 μm
The limit position can be changed programmatically. (See
"20 Operation on DS-L3" - "20.1 Setting Up the
Microscope - (6) Configuring Other Functions" for details.)
Stop position with XY limit
The XY stage slows down and stops after it reached the
limit position, therefore, actually the stage stops at a
maximum of 800 μm beyond the limit position which has
been set.
