Nikon Eclipse microscope scanning stage
$785.00
This Prior H101 microscope stage has an excursion range of 4 inches in the X direction and 3 inches in the Y direction. It features interchangable specimen inserts (one highly modified ‘solid’ insert is included). The stage is motorized and includes encoders for both axes. The scale for the encoder X-axis is loose and has been secured with a bit of tape. It has not been damaged (see fifth photo).
The stage has a ring plate adapter for the Nikon Eclipse E800 stage carrier (hence the model number H101E800). The adapter does not include the three mounting screws. It is shown resting in the recess in photo six.
The stage will require a controller with readout capability. These are available directly from Prior Instruments. The cables for the encoders are permanently attached to the stage. The cables for the stage motors are absent. Stage is in excellent condition (near mint except for a minor finish scratch to one side of the top surface).

CompareProduct Description
Motorized Scanning Stage for Nikon Eclipse Microscopes (XY Automated Stage)
This is a motorized scanning stage designed for Nikon Eclipse series research microscopes (e.g., Eclipse 80i, 90i, Ti-E, Ti-U). It provides automated, precise XY movement for high-resolution imaging, tiling, time-lapse, and automated sample scanning. Sold AS IS for parts, repair, or integration into a compatible Nikon microscopy system.
Key Features (Typical of Nikon Scanning Stages):
-
Compatibility: Designed for Nikon Eclipse models with appropriate mounting hole patterns and controller compatibility.
-
Motion: Motorized XY travel via stepper or servo motors; typical travel range ~75mm x 50mm (varies by model).
-
Control: Connects to a Nikon motorized stage controller (e.g., Nikon Ti-SR, Ti-ER, or third-party controllers).
-
Precision: High-resolution encoders for repeatable positioning (micron/sub-micron accuracy).
-
Stage Plate: May include a universal specimen holder or plate for slides, multi-well plates, or dishes.
-
Cabling: Includes motor cables and possibly sensor cables (connector types vary).
Potential Uses:
-
Microscope Automation Repair: Donor stage for restoring a malfunctioning Nikon Eclipse automated imaging system.
-
Component Salvage: Stepper/servo motors, encoders, precision ball screws, linear bearings, and cabling.
-
Custom Automation Project: Repurpose for DIY CNC, macro photography stage, or other precision XY motion needs.
-
Educational/Display: For teaching microscope automation or as part of a technical display.
Important Notes:
-
Controller Required: This stage is not functional without a compatible Nikon motorized stage controller and proper software.
-
Compatibility Verification: Confirm mounting footprint and connector compatibility with your specific Eclipse microscope model.
-
Mechanical Inspection: Bearings and screws may require cleaning and re-lubrication after prolonged storage.
