Automated Gigapixel Olympus BHM metrology microscope
I spent a few days automating an Olympus metrology BHM system with three StackShot drives. One used as a direct drive on the focus control and then two full StackShots rails at 90 degrees to each other driving a post going through an extended sample stage on a standard X-Y table. The post has a sleeve bearing to allow focusing. Two prototype StackShot controllers are connected together and talk to each other allowing fully automated X-Y panning. Unfortunately at the moment I cannot connect three controller together so the stacking has to be set off manually.
