Sample holders - standard models for typical biological samples or custom designed for unique applications.
Stage mounting - standard mounting plates for microscopes as well as custom mounting for vertical and horizontal orientations.
Work directly with Mad City Labs' design engineers to create the accessories needed for your experimental setup at minimal additional cost.

Objective Lens Extender Tubes
The position of the microscope objective lens relative to
the sample is quite important. Adding a nanopositioning
stage to an existing microscope may raise the sample
location if a re-entrant sample holder is not used (see
Accessories pages). In some situations it may be preferable
to raise the objective lens to match the new sample
location. Mad City Labs offers standard lens extender
tubes with both RMS (Olympus, Zeiss, Leica) and
M25-0.75 (Nikon) threads. RMS standard lengths are
10mm and 20mm. M25 standard lengths are 6.75mm
and 12.67mm (0.5 inch).

Nano-Drive and Micro-Drive Rack Mount Kits
Nano-Drive and Micro-Drive controllers can be mounted
into standard equipment racks by attaching optional
rack mount kits. All Mad City Labs controllers fit into
the industry standard “2U” height (3.47 inches). Multiaxis
Nano-Drive controllers and the Micro-Drive controllers
are the full rack width and can be mounted with
narrow brackets. Single axis Nano-Drive controllers are
one half rack width and use extended mounting brackets.
Rack mount kits are optional accessories that can be
ordered with complete systems or purchased separately
by contacting Mad City Labs.

Joystick Nanopositioner Control
NanoControl, a new LabVIEW program written by
Mad City Labs, provides manual motion control of
multi-axis nanopositioning stages using a Logitech wireless
gamepad. Gamepad joysticks and buttons are user
configurable and can be setup to suit the nanopositioning
application. The nanopositioner’s rate of acceleration
is easily set with an on-screen control knob. Onscreen
position readouts show the stage location in every
axis of motion. Communication with the Nano-Drive
controller takes place over its USB interface. NanoControl
is an executable LabVIEW program that operates
on any Windows based PC and is available at no charge
with every USB enabled nanopositioning system.

Joystick MicroStage Control
The new LabVIEW program, MicroControl, provides
manual motion control of Mad City Labs’ motorized
MicroStage by use of a Logitech wireless gamepad.
Gamepad joysticks and buttons are user configurable
and can be chosen to suit the specific application. An
on-screen control panel shows the stage position as
measured by the MicroStage high resolution linear
encoders. Stage speed of motion can also be easily
set with the MicroControl displayed parameters. For
precise displacements, specific stage motions can also
be input numerically - bypassing the joystick controller.
MicroControl source code is provided for experienced
LabVIEW programmers who may wish to modify the
vi code. MicroControl is also provided as an executable
program for users who do not own LabVIEW. Micro-
Control is compatible with all Windows based PC’s and
is available at no charge for all USB enabled Micro-Stage
systems.
