Slotted Base Plates
Slotted base plates are available for versatile mounting of DS stages to optical tables or other stages. Please see the accessory section for more information.
Left or Right Handed Configurations
DS65 stages come in mirror-image right and left-hand versions for more flexibility in how you lay out your experiment on the table, so there's never a need to reach over your work to make adjustments on the far side. All adjustments can be made with the hand resting on the table for maximum comfort, added stability, and increased sensitivity.
LaserClean™ Low VOC Versions Available
DS Series are available in LaserClean™ low VOC versions with clear anodizefor applications that require extra care to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) and ensure added cleanliness. Newport now offers certain Opto-Mechanical components that are specially prepared with clear anodize, nickel plating or stainless steel materials, special lubrication and vacuum-level cleaning. Products are packaged in Class 1000 (ISO 6) cleanroom grade bagging material and then double-bagged for further cleanliness precautions. We call these products, LaserClean™ and designate them with a -LC suffix. For more information please visit LaserClean Low VOC Optical Components Page.
Easily Combined for Multi-axis Motion
The DS Series Linear Stages are compatible with RS Series Rotation Stages and GON Series Goniometric Stages of matching size (for example, RS40 with DS40, RS65 with DS65). They can be combined to provide multi-axis motion and can be easily adapted to fit a specific system's needs. A six-axis manual positioning system is shown using matched 65 x 65 mm stages.
