2.7.2 Connecting the motorized microscope stage
By default, the motorized microscope stage is equipped with two motors which allow for
a computer-controlled or a joystick-controlled stage movement in x- and y-direction.
Optionally, the stage can be equipped with a third motor which allows for a computer-
controlled or a joystick-controlled stage movement in z-direction.
The required cables are included in the delivery scope.
1 Connect the cables labeled Xand Yto
the corresponding connectors ①at the
right side of the motorized stage.
Important: Make sure that the labeling of
the cables corresponds with the labeling
of the stage connectors.
2 In case the stage is equipped with two
motors, skip this step. In case the stage
is equipped with an third motor, proceed
as follows:
[1] Connect the cable, which is already
factory-connected to stage, to the Z-
IN socket ③at the microscope rear
side.
[2] Connect the cable labeled Zto the Z-
OUT socket ②at the microscope
rear side.
3 At the other cable end, the cables labeled
X, Yand possibly Zare pooled together
into one D-sub plug.
Insert this plug in the corresponding D-
sub socket ④at the PC.
