• High load/size ratio
• Zero backlash
• <0.01 mrad wobble
• Over 16 unique configurations
The MS Series offers unmatched performance in an extremely small package. Ideal for
applications where precision is required but space is limited. These micropositioners are
provided in X, XY and XYZ configurations.
MS-500-X
Hardened precision rods are preloaded against a four corner hardened slider for smooth,
wear-resistant motion. A return spring provides built-in preload to eliminate backlash.
The unique carriage design eliminates wobble while providing an extremely robust stage.

Accessories
The knurled thumb grip can be added to MS-125 or MS-500 stages to enhance resolution
and alternatively can be used as a locking nut.
• Thumb grip—increased
resolution
With the pinhole adaptor, apertures can be changed by replacing the entire adaptor or by
removing and replacing the aperture only. A soft rubber washer can be used under the
adaptor for slit aperture orientation.
• Headless adjusting screw
• Adaptor plate
• Pinhole adaptor
The headless adjusting screws replace a standard thumb screw while reducing the overall
length of the stage by 0.4 and 0.5 in. (10.2 and 12.7 mm) (MS-125 and MS-500 respectively).
• Objective adaptor
A multi-position adaptor plate interfaces with standard optical tables and can provide
additional footprint to free-standing stages.
SYSTEMS
The objective adaptor allows mounting of standard microscope objectives to MS-500 stages.

A note to our metric customers: Specially
tapped and dimensioned mounting holes,
while defined as English measurements, were
selected for their compatibility with metric
screws. Specific thread depths have been
utilized to accommodate metric screws in the
English holes without cross threading issues.

The M-MR1.4 stage is one of the smallest stages we offer. It uses a dual dowel pin
bearing providing excellent performance for its size. These stages can be combined to
form XY and XYZ configurations.
