Four-Plate 1D Stage: Four samples in one session

A one-axis stage that carries four plates, with heated glass that keeps condensation away.

To record more samples in a single session, I built a 1D stage that carries four plates along one axis between the microscopes on our optical table.

The glass above the plates is heated so that it does not fog up with condensation, which keeps the view clear during long recordings.
