Smooth motion and instant response to hand adjustments makes the MX630 and the MX610 ideal for long term intracellular recordings.  The water based hydraulic mechanism has a thermal expansion two to three times less than that of oil based systems, thus minimizing drift to less than 2 µm per hour at constant temperatures.

   MX600 series hydraulic micromanipulators have crossed roller bearings in each axis.  This along with a metal bellows system ensure precision movement and long life.  The positioning dials use our ultra-fine 127TPI adjustment screws to enable 0.5 µm resolution.  Each hydraulic headstage is equipped with a rotatable electrode/pipette holder that will hold diameters from 3- to 8-mm.

   For added coarse positioning the MX600 series micromanipulator can be mounted on our MX110, MX160, MX1600, MX50.5 or MX100.5 series of manipulators.
