Dear All,

We are having issues with accurate z positioning during xyz scans on Zeiss Axiovert 200 under Metamorph in 'Asynchronous' mode (with total z in the range of 200 um, there are no issues within 70um). 
It is accurate under 'Synchronous' mode but xyz acquisition unacceptably slow.

These problems are seen only under 64-bit Windows (32-bit driver is OK).

Does anyone have similar issues and/or solution to the z drive accuracy?

Is anyone around who is responsible for bridging Zeiss and Molecular Devices? 

Is there anyone at MolDev who could "speak German"? 

Regards,

Vitaly
