Cross Table MSH

Product Code : SCL-MI-10773

The cross table MSH is an X/Y positioning table used for controlled horizontal movement of specimens, slides or small samples during microscope observation and laboratory inspection. It is designed for schools, colleges, training laboratories and inspection users who need smoother left-right and forward-back sample positioning.

Product Description

The Cross Table MSH (X/Y Table) is a laboratory positioning accessory used to move a sample platform along two perpendicular axes. In microscopy and inspection work, X/Y movement helps the user scan a specimen area systematically without shifting the entire microscope or sample by hand.

This table is suitable for compatible microscope stands, educational laboratory setups and small-object viewing applications where stable sample movement is required. It supports better handling during demonstrations, specimen comparison and repeat observation. For related instruments, browse our microscope instrument and general lab equipment categories.

Key Features

• X/Y table design for controlled movement in two horizontal directions.
• Useful for specimen positioning during microscopy and inspection work.
• Helps reduce hand movement while scanning slides or small samples.
• Suitable for compatible microscope stands and laboratory viewing setups.
• Supports classroom demonstrations, practical training and repeat observation.
• Simple mechanical operation for students, teachers and lab users.
• Helps improve sample handling in shared school and college laboratories.

How to Use the Cross Table MSH (X/Y Table)

1. Confirm that the Cross Table MSH fits the microscope stand or laboratory setup.
2. Mount the table securely using the confirmed fixing method.
3. Place the slide, sample holder or specimen on the table surface.
4. Adjust the X-axis control to move the sample left or right.
5. Adjust the Y-axis control to move the sample forward or backward.
6. Use small movements while observing through the microscope or display.
7. Remove the sample after observation and return the table to a neutral position.

Do not overload the table, force the movement mechanism or use it with an incompatible stand.

Care & Maintenance

• Do not spill liquids into the movement mechanism.
• Store the table in a dry cabinet when not installed on equipment.
• Check mounting screws or clamps periodically for secure fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cross Table MSH used for?

A Cross Table MSH is used to move a specimen, slide or small sample in X and Y directions during microscope observation or laboratory inspection.

Is this the same as an X/Y table?

Yes. A cross table is commonly understood as an X/Y table because it supports movement along two perpendicular horizontal axes.

Can this table be used with microscopes?

Yes, it can be used with compatible microscopes or microscope stands.

Is Cross Table MSH suitable for school labs?

Yes. It is suitable for school laboratories, college labs and training centres where students need controlled sample positioning during observation.
