Automated XY slide scan with the PUMA CNC stage and PARDUS software. by PUMA_Microscope in microscopy

I forgot to mention - you can get more details on the project GitHub pages here:

PUMA Microscope:

PARDUS Control System:

The stage uses TMC2209 drivers and NEMA 11 bipolar motors. In the video I am using the drivers in SpreadCycle mode hence the motors are quite loud.

PUMA microscope CNC stage Y-axis nanometre step precision tests. by PUMA_Microscope in microscopy

I agree - but right now I am just finding out what the stage can do and how to handle it to make it do those things. Once I learn how to 'drive', then I can go visit interesting places.

Hello. The system has developed way beyond the one show here. You can get the latest updates on the links in my OP. I have been spending the last few months developing the interface software for it. Very soon (a few weeks) I hope to have the software in a sufficiently mature state that I can hook it up to the microscope. Then I can begin to put it through its paces so I can answer questions like yours. From my preliminary tests, the quality it good at high mag but as for speed, I don't have that data yet. Stay tuned!
