The FB series Z-axis motorized focus blocks from Prior Scientific (Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire, England) offer ±0.7 µm repeatability and ±20 nm precision positioning of loads that weigh up to 30 lbs. The motorized focus blocks may be driven between 1 and 14 mm/sec over a travel range of 38 mm, allowing them to integrate with a wide range of imaging systems. They are controllable with the company's ProScan III control system that integrates into a wide variety of bioimaging applications, potentially allowing all components of the imaging system to be controlled from a central point. Standard and custom versions are available.
