Morning Simon,
        Since I have no idea what the prices are for these systems, I'm
simple passing on the info.  It took me a while to find Ealing (looking for
a filter set i.d.).  So, here is the link.

Hope this helps,

Folks, I need a basic motorized xyz stage, this is not for a microscope,
rather for luciferase imaging in a black box.  So accuracy can be quite low
(ie: in mouse units).  However all I can find are optical quality devices
which cost lots of $$s, or CNC machining positioners are available too but
they are for moving multi kilogram objects and also cost lots of $$s. So is
there an inexpensive solution which is able to move a mouse (maybe 50grams
max), in 3 dimensions such that I can focus on the thing remotely and take a
picture
I would welcome any input
Thanks
Simon
