Fixed electrophysiology platforms set benchmark

Compatible with most commercially available vibration isolation tables, the exceptionally stable Z-Deck platform offers a large surface working area, allowing for the creation of even the most complex experimental set-ups. Using the Z-Deck you can switch between whole organism and cellular imaging heights in seconds without the use of tools. The design of the platform facilitates undertaking Köhler illumination experiments at a range of focus heights.

To meet the differing requirements and budgets of scientists, Prior Scientific offers a range of Z-Deck platforms. For experiments that demand precise movements in the X and Y axes the motorized Z-Deck with sub-micron resolution and Prior’s patented IST technology provides unmatched accuracy and repeatability. The motors of the Z-Deck can be easily switched off during recording without the loss of position.

By comparison the manual Z-Deck enables manual experiment movement in the X and Y axes, at an entry-level price. If your experiment does not require XY movement from the stage at all, the Fixed Z-Deck offers a robust, stable, and rapidly height adjustable platform. Both the fixed and manual Z-Deck platforms have no electrical motors and thus produce no electrical noise making them ideal for researchers performing extremely precise measurements requiring constant electrical silence.
