Automated stage control, built to fit your imaging Processes
Precise, programmable movement custom systems integrated into your imaging workflows.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of automated stage movement to your laboratory.High-Precision XY PositioningWe can integrate motorised XY stages into imaging systems for precise, repeatable movement.
Z-Axis Focus ControlWhen focus accuracy is essential, we support automated Z-axis integration
Microscope & Optics CompatibilityWe integrate with upright, inverted, or digital microscopes, adapting the stage to fit your optical path, working distance, and sample orientation.
Custom Movement ProfilesWe can work with your application to build custom movement patterns - controlled by your software, or a dedicated Labman interface.
Sample Holders and MountsWhether you're imaging vials, dishes, multi-well plates, or custom formats, we can design compatible holders that align precisely with automated motion.
Software Integration & ControlLabman can interface stage movement with your existing imaging software, or provide standalone control modules tailored to your workflow and environment.
Key services
Lab technology that suits everyone
Reliable stage movement is essential for high-throughput imaging, time-lapse sequences, and stitching across large areas. Labman help integrate movement solutions into your existing imaging platform. Whether you’re working with inverted microscopes, custom sample holders, or unique sample geometries, we tailor the hardware and software around your needs to enable exact, repeatable motion across X, Y, and Z axes.Custom projectsLabman are experts at creating technologies for your lab that work exactly as you need them to, with no compromises.
