Photo 1: Manual BiSlide Assembly with optional digital counter
Why BiSlide?	Used primarily for motor driven applications, manual BiSlides may be a better choice because: -- they are less expensive when compared to Series A40, A60 or B90 UniSlides when travel distances greater than 20"-30" -- you want a stage that is easily converted from manual to motor driven use -- you require hard coat anodized finish (standard for BiSlides). And you need it soon. -- they do not require adapter plates or brackets to make multi-axis systems -- higher cantilevered load capacity when compared to comparable UniSlides
