MP-85
Huxley Wall Type Micromanipulator
The classic micromanipulator
developed by Sir Huxley many years ago is still considered
by many investigators to be the finest manual micromanipulator
available. The MP-85 offers the advantage of a very large
range of movement with its built-in coarse manipulator and
precise submicron movement with the fine controls. Coarse
positioning is achieved with a three axis manipulator mounted
on top. The ultrafine positioning is accomplished with the
large micrometers mounted on the base. These micrometers
provide smooth, precise movement through a 10:1 reduction
mechanism.
The brass and stainless
steel construction of the MP-85 makes for a very heavy and
solid micromanipulator with excellent damping properties.
This exceptionally
stable design is ideal for patch clamp recording, intracellular recording,
or any other application that is intolerant of drift.
The MP-85 is chrome-plated
and anodized to prevent corrosion. The J.R. Wall designed
rotating base is machined from solid stainless steel with
a brass spindle; a thin PTFE inert washer provides for the bearing
surface.

and use of the MP-85 micromanipulator for your specific application.
Features
• Dual springing of the moment
arms to insure zero backlash and zero torsion.
• The micromanipulator is
mounted on a precision rotating base featuring a positive stop
and
lock.
• The coarse movement is an
all cross-roller bearing design consisting of coarse X, Y,
and Z with an additional fine
X motion.
• The micromanipulator can
be ordered in either a right or left handed version. Options
• Fifteen degree stackable wedges
for tilting the manipulator.
• A set of three magnetic
feet for increased stability.
• One inch thick,
chrome plated, solid brass riser blocks.
