| This platform
system can be custom tailored to suit the needs of the end user.
The platform configuration that is pictured is just one of many
that have been produced. They are available in manual or motorized
versions. |

|
| A
versatile platform for mounting a variety of hardware at any
level on an isolation table or platform. A complete set of AS
series spacers allows flexible vertical adjustment from 2.5-
to 12.0-inches in 0.5-inch increments. |

|
| Platform support
rods are a solid solution for supporting platforms or other mechanical
hardware. Use these aluminum spacers for spacing of any device
that needs to be adjusted in either the vertical or horizontal
plane. Spacers can be used by themselves or with ABP series
base plates. |

| Our crossed
roller translators are available in motorized and manual versions.
Motorized versions can be controlled with any e series and MC2000
controllers. Our controllers drive the stage through a closed
loop interface between the controller and the motor encoder. |
|

|
|
|
|

 |
|
 |

|
|
| Our economy microscope
translators are designed to be stable XY translators for fixed
stages experiments. MXMS-100 series translators have a full 25
mm of XY translation and use ball transfer pads in the back two
bearing locations. These ball transfer pads have proven themselves
as a solid alternative to full crossed roller translators. |

|
| The SD-10 is a
miniature micromanipulator that is ideal for positioning applications
that require micron-level resolution. They use a precision rolled
80TPI lead screw for smooth positioning along their entire travel.
The miniature dovetail slide uses an adjustable spring loaded
gib design to ensure stability, straightness of travel and also
works as a locking mechanism. The fourth axis can be set thru
360° of motion. |

|
| Perfect for mounting next to high microscope stages without using towers or platforms, the MX-110 post-mount manipulator comes pre-mounted to a 12.36 inch high rod and base. This drift-free manual manipulator includes a tilting axial approach on the 4th axis with 22 mm of travel, and can be rotated away for easy probe replacement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| The SD-130 Manipulator is designed to maximize available space. The narrow profile design allows multiple manipulators to be placed in one quadrant. The SD-130 provides 38mm coarse and 5mm fine positioning travel in the X axis. Two and a half turns of the coarse adjustment knob will fully retract the device in the X axis. It is equipped with a probe clamp for easy change of implement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| Unlike manipulators with rack and pinion drive, the SD-160 uses a spring loaded lead screw design against a solid stop, which ensures drift-free operation. The SD-160 incorporates fast-pitch, screw drive positioning, and smooth ball bearing motion in the X, Y, Z, and Q axes for precision positioning. The top stage tilts 360° and includes 22mm of travel along the probe axis -- ideal for axial cell probing. |

 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| The MX7600 motorized
crossed roller bearing micromanipulator is ideal for patch recording
experiments. The MX7600 offers exceptionally smooth linear travel
and uses a precision preloaded lead screw to ensure drift-free
operation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| The MC1000e-R 4-axis
dial controller acts as a remote micrometer control for actuators,
manipulators, and stages. It uses encoder feedback
from our closed loop devices to create an electronic link between
the controller dial and the device being driven. This direct
coupling to the encoder ensures smooth and coordinated motion
between the controller and the drive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| The joystick
controller is designed for coarse micron level positioning of
actuators, manipulators, and stages.
The joystick control is proportional from slow to high through
the travel range of the joystick motion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| The MC1000e is
a simple push-button controller with submicron positioning capability
that is compatible with our 800 and 7000 series actuators, manipulators,
and stages. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| A simple push-button
controller with submicron positioning capability and a user selected
target feature. The TARGET/RETRACT feature allows the user to
set a target location at a desired point. |

|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| The
ABDC switching box allows control of one to four 4-axis micromanipulators
by one controller. The basis of the design
is simple and requires only an extra controller junction box
for each added micromanipulator or motor drive group (up to four
per group). |
|
|
|
|

|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| Smooth motion and
instant response to hand adjustments makes the MX6600 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. |

 |
|
|
|
| The piezo solution switcher uses a high-speed piezo flexure guided nanopositioner to move pipette tips in solution switching applications. It can move an electrode tip across a 5 µm thick theta glass septum. This system is ideal for measuring cellular response to drugs or other elements in solution. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| The MXC-45D’s
unique design allows repeatable electrode replacement with a
simple but accurate rotating clamp. The rotating portion is
configured such that the probe /pipette rotates up and away from
the experiment at a 45° angle through a full 180°. The repeatable stop
returns to its location with micron level accuracy and the stop’s
orientation can be changed simply by loosening a single 1⁄4-20
cap screw. |

|
| MXE & MXP series pipette holders utilize ceramic rods to eliminate drift introduced by plastic mounting rods. Features include: solid ceramic mounting rod, compatible with most amplifiers, and eliminated drift. Pipette holders come in a variety of lengths to accommodate a wide range of setups. |

| Three axis Chamber
Shuttle System. One inch working travel in XYZ. Magnetic coupling
allows quick withdrawal of perfusion chamber from working area. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| Perfusion
chambers have embedded magnets that are conveniently located
to retain perfusion plumbing and ground plugs. A standard 22
mm cover slip is used to create the chamber bottom that is attached
with vacuum grease, silicon, or parafilm. There are two plastic
retention screws for added security. |

|
|
| Stable-tip
electrode holders eliminate the final instability link in the
electrophysiology experimental setup. It features a thermally
stable base material which is coated with aluminaoxide. This
coating has two benefits: first, it is non-conductive so the
holder does not act as an electrical antenna; second, it is very
resistant to corrosion. |

|
| The dual stage
pipette puller uses several unique methods to make consistent
electrodes pull after pull. The theory of operation is based
on time management and millivolt control of the element for
both first and second pulls. By controlling the time, or at least
establishing a time basis, the user can create a pipette shape
and length consistently and repeatedly. |

| The tissue
slicer consistently slices sectioned cortical or hippocampal
tissue to either a 200-, 300-, or 400-μm thickness in a straightforward
operation. Thicknesses are selected by simply replacing the lead
screw on the frame winder. This style of tissue slicer ensures
consecutive slices of the specifically sectioned area. |
