HybridStage™

The HybridStage is a modular, piezo-based sample scanner stage with a motorized unit for large sample movements.

• Characterization of the topographical and mechanical properties of plant cells, cell layers, cartilage, parasites, scaffolds, bones or tissue with typically uneven surfaces
• Single Cell Force Spectroscopy (SCFS)
• Characterization of cell-cell interactions and extracellular matrix proteins
• Membrane tether experiments
• Cell/cell or cell/substrate adhesion in 3D

Key features

• Equipped with three scanner units that can move either the tip or the sample
• Choice of sample scanner best suited to sample (100 x 100 x 100 µm³, 200 x 200 x 200 µm³ or 300 x 300 x 300 µm³)
• Combined piezo and motorized stages for automated mapping or scanning of large areas (20 x 20)mm²
• SlimFocus™ feature for improved optical focus control
• Optical Tiling and Multi-Region Imaging
• Multi-Scan Tissue Mapping
• Batch processing option using the JPK data processing (DP) software
• Maps large objects such as cell scaffolds, printed 3D structures, microspheres or capsules and micro/nano-structured surfaces over millimeter distances
• Automated and streamlined workflow with the motorized HybridStage™
