The ASI CRISP autofocus system would probably work. It can be used to drive one of their Z piezo top plates or any generic Z-drive that accepts an input control voltage.

Hello Listserv,

We've been told by Nikon that no hardware based AutoFocus system is compatible with our Nikon Ti-S body and that we have to acquire a new microscope. Has anyone had luck, or suggest alternatives? Software based AF won't do for our throughput applications.

Many thanks for your help,

Best,
