Micromanipulators

Manual, Low Profile, 4-axis

   The MX50.5 series of manual manipulators are built from our low profile 50.5cr crossed roller stages and provide four-axis control in a very small package.  They are ideal for positioning stimulating electrodes, MX610 or MX630 hydraulic micromanipulators, puffer pipettes, suction pipettes or the devices in a microscope's field of view.  They come standard with 100TPI adjustment screws and large color coded knobs for improved feel and resolution.

   The mounting base for this manipulator is our MDR-3.0 dovetail rail and can be attach to one of our platforms or directly to a microscope stage.  The rail allows you to easily remove the manipulator from the experiment area when it is not and use, and replace it back to the same location when needed again.  The rail carrier on the manipulator has a coarse rotation feature so adjusting for approach into the field of view is simplified.

   Like most of our micromanipulators, the MX50.5 series comes with a fourth adjustable axis to get true axial probing into the experiment.  They also can be motorized with our 512 series motorized actuators.
