External Sample Holder IMA-SA4
JCOPTIX external sample supports offer multiple heights for different microscopy applications, improving setup and experimental flexibility. The compact structure leaves ample room for objectives, patch clamps, condensers, and other equipment. Matching posts rotate through 360° for precise component alignment in imaging paths, with angular markings providing 5° adjustment increments. The rigid, stable structure accepts slides, dishes, recording chambers, patch clamps, multiwell plates, and common electrophysiology accessories, fitting most experimental platforms. Complete manual rigid-support sets or individual parts are available; each set includes a post holder, post, and rail or insert clamp. Inserts, slide clamps, and other expansion accessories are also available. Manual Z-axis rigid support. Model: IMA-ESH1. For upright or inverted microscopes; accepts 66 mm rail-series accessories; multiple heights; various inserts; free vertical, rotational, and fore/aft adjustment. Its base has M6 countersunk holes for optical breadboards, stages, or tables. A large rectangular insert-clamping arm at the top has a rectangular recess accepting different slide sample holders. The support raises/lowers and rotates installed slides through 360° with 5° resolution. Vertical range varies by model; see individual model specifications. This series is compatible with equivalent Thorlabs products. Large rectangular insert-clamping arm. Model: IMA-SA4. Fits 66 mm rail series and various slide clamps; surface M6 threads mount experimental components. JCOPTIX IMA-SA4 supports M6 countersunk or dovetail mounting. Dovetail mounting provides approximately 50.2 mm travel along the guide. Rated load is 9 kg. An upper square locating recess accepts various square slide sample holders. M3 and M6 threaded holes allow mounting other equipment. Four-position slide clamp. Model: IMA-SA1713F. 4 slide positions; for upright/inverted microscopes; 3 leveling set screws. JCOPTIX IMA-SA1713F has a 140 mm × 65 mm rectangular opening and four slots above it for 76.5 mm × 26.2 mm slides. The four corners carry 4 captive M3 mounting screws. For applications requiring precise sample leveling, three M4×0.5 threaded set screws adjust level. During installation, ensure set screws do not protrude below the holder and damage the platform or sample. Slide holder with central SM2 through-thread, 60 mm cage compatibility, and clamp plates. Model: IMA-SA1713. Slide clamps on both sides; central SM2 threaded hole; 3 leveling set screws. IMA-SA1713 has a central SM2 threaded hole surrounded by 60 mm cage mounting threads, 4-40UNC, for 60 mm cage systems. A central slide recess requires removal of the MTC-SM2E tube protection cover before placing a slide. Side clamp plates can move to opposing symmetric mounting holes. After prolonged use, a tool can adjust the U-shaped opening in the clamp-plate sleeve to restore clamping. Four corners carry 4 captive M3 mounting screws. Three threaded set screws precisely adjust level. Ensure these do not protrude below the holder during installation, to avoid damaging the platform or sample.
