MD
Series
Micromanipulator Platforms
For users who wish to
use the MP-285 or MP-225 manipulator in conjunction with
an inverted microscope, Sutter Instrument has designed a
series of Microscope Dependent (MD) stands. The typical MD
stand is a manipulator platform that bolts directly to the
frame of an inverted microscope. Stands are available in
either single-sided or double-sided versions for the most
common inverted microscopes made by Nikon, Olympus, Leica,
and Zeiss.
These platforms lend
themselves to the absolutely drift-free recording configuration
required when using the
manipulators to position patch-electrodes to record from
attached cells in culture.
To mount the MP-285 to
an MD stand you also need either the 285210 mounting adapter
plate (for orthogonal mounting) or the 285RBI rotating base
that allows for non-orthogonal mounting and rotation of the
entire manipulator (note: the 285210 mounting plate is included
with each MP-285 and MP-225).

New
mounting options and adapters for new microscopes are being
added frequently.
