Microscope stage
The SVM340 is fitted with a replaceable microscope stage, attached to the main body of the
instrument by four magnetic locks. To remove the stage, simply pull the stage gently up until it
releases. The stage top is a polished stainless-steel plate, which can be machined to provide
application-specific mounts for the fluidic device, electrodes, fluid hoses or other fittings.
Removing the microscope stage
LabSmith also offers an integrating sample stage (A-SVM-Stage-BB) that can be used to couple
the SVM340 microscope to one of LabSmith’s
uProcess breadboards (iBB or LS600-CH).
