Automatic Drift Compensation System Maximizes Optical Microscope Performance

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 02 May 2011
A new automatic drift compensation system has been released that is designed to maintain the focal position for optical microscopes over a time span ranging from hours to weeks.

The Olympus (Hamburg, Germany) ZDC2 Z-Drift compensation system operates in either continuous or "one-shot” mode that continually monitors the distance between the objective lens and the sample surface. More...


Since the relationship between the sample and the cover slip tends to be consistent, this allows the microscope system to remain focused automatically in response to external factors, via the rapid adjustment of the nosepiece.

Olympus recommends using the new Z-Drift compensation system with the IX81 inverted microscope. The IX81 microscope systems are highly stable, rigid, and reliable, taking advantage of proprietary UIS2 objectives, providing exceptional contrast, brightness, and resolution resulting in enhanced image clarity. The IX81 combines seamlessly with the ZDC2 Z-Drift compensation module to provide automatic focal adjustment.

The complete system is compatible with a range of powerful Olympus hardware and software, including "cellSens Dimension” and "xcellence,” as well as integrating fully with environmentally isolated stage incubation systems.
