This paper presents a reliable but low-cost way for industrial digital microscopy to implement μm-level precision of X/Y stage motion control. Other than the prevailing designs using stepper motors with open-loop control algorithms, the proposed method uses DC motors with closed-loop sliding mode control (SMC) to save the cost and allow a smooth switching between manual and motorized mode for stage...
