XY for inverted

XY stages are commonly used in inverted microscopes to allow precise and controlled movement of the specimen. In an inverted microscope, the objective lens is located below the stage, while the specimen is mounted on the top of the stage.

The XY stage allows researchers to move the specimen in the horizontal plane along the X and Y axes, while the Z axis is controlled by the focus mechanism of the microscope. This allows for precise positioning and alignment of the specimen, enabling detailed imaging and analysis.

Inverted microscopes often come with built-in XY stages, but they may not always meet the specific needs of the researcher. In such cases, it is possible to upgrade the microscope with a more advanced or specialized XY stage, such as a motorized or computer-controlled stage.

Overall, XY stages are an important tool for inverted microscopes, providing precise and accurate control over the position and movement of the specimen for a wide range of imaging applications.
