IPZ-3000 Series Piezo Z-Axis Top Plate Insert

About the IPZ-3000 Series

The IPZ-3000 series piezo inserts will fit in most microscope stages with the standard 110 mm x 160 mm (K-size) stage insert opening. The piezo insert uses the same proven technology as our PZ-2000 series as a simple retrofit control on an existing XY stage. Several sample holders are available to fit the IPZ-3000 inserts for holding small dishes, slides or chambers. The piezo can be controlled with the MS-2000 controller, providing both USB and RS-232 communication to a host computer. Users with MS-2000 configuration for XY only can upgrade their controllers for Z control.

Sample Holders

IPZ-3000 Series Sample Holder

IPZ-4001	Accepts a standard 1 x 3 slide, or a 35 mm petri dish
IPZ-4002	Accepts a standard 2 x 3 slide, or a 50/60 mm petri dish
IPZ-4003	Accepts the ASI I-2450 Autoclavable stainless steel rectangular chamber with replaceable 50 mm x 24 mm coverglass bottom, sealed in place by an O-ring. Outside dimension is 76.0 mm x 50.5 mm (2.99” x 1.99”). Inside diameter at bottom (viewable window) is 42.7 mm x 16.7 mm (1.68” x 0.65”). Height is 10.7 mm (0.42”). I-2450 must be purchased separately.
IPZ-5001 Flushed IPZ-5003 Recessed	Holders accept 22 mm x 22 mm cover slip. The two stainless still spring clips keep sample in place. The integrated ring allows rotating the sample. The flushed IPZ-5001 sample holder sits the cover slip at .25” or 6.4 mm from the base while the recessed IPZ-5003 sits it at .04” or 1 mm.
IPZ-5002 Flushed IPZ-5004 Recessed	Holders accept 22 mm x 40 mm cover slip. The two stainless still spring clips keep sample in place. The integrated ring allows rotating the sample. The flushed IPZ-5002 sample holder sits the cover slip at .25” or 6.4 mm from the base while the recessed IPZ-5004 sits it at .04” or 1 mm.
