Micromanipulators
Hydraulic axis with 3-axis
stage
The MX10R-H is a miniature
micromanipulator that is ideal for positioning applications that require
submicron level resolution. In this design we have combined our
DT100 series stages with the MX610 single-axis hydraulic manipulator.
This combination enables the experimenter to use the fine positioning
accuracy of the dovetail stage to get close to the desired location and
then use the submicron resolution of the hydraulic stage to make the final
adjustment. The hydraulic stage is mounted on a fourth axis which can be
set at any angle through 360° of motion. The compact size of the
MX10R-H makes it ideal for stimulator applications, puffer pipettes or
micro-injection set-ups.
Our miniature dovetail slide uses an adjustable spring-loaded gib design
and a precision rolled 80TPI lead screw for smooth positioning along its
entire travel. These features ensure stability and straightness of
travel over many years of use. The MDR-3.0 miniature dovetail rail
makes mounting and replacement very straightforward. The addition of a
simple stop allows repeatable placement.
