The plate mover, according to the present invention, is an integrated stage mover and stereo microscope which moves crystallization plates through the microscope field of view. A digital camera attached to the microscope can capture images of crystallization results as the crystallization plate is moved through the field of vision of the microscope. The plate mover is suitably controlled by a computer having a CPU and a memory, wherein a software application, such as Crystal Monitor<TM> resides in the computer. Crystal Monitor<TM> is a suitable software application for crystallization results data entry which can use voice recognition commands to enter a crystallization result in a database. Real-time images can be viewed on a computer monitor during operation of the plate mover. Suitably, an automatic observation feature causes the plate mover to automatically move the crystallization plate to capture images of crystallization results in a plate with minimal user intervention. |
