Hydraulic, Integrated Base Mount Micromanipulators
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 MX6600 hydraulic micromanipulator is the integrated
version of our MX1600 series manual crossed roller bearing
manipulator. This design integrates the metal bellow system
with our precision crossed roller stage to ensure precision
movement and long life. The fine positioning dials on three
axes use our ultrafine 127TPI adjustment screws to enable
0.5 μm resolution. The coarse positioning knobs on four
axes incorporate 20TPI screw drive positioning for smooth
motion in the X, Y, Z, and Θ axes. The Θ axis
can be adjusted to the desired angle of approach from 0° to
180°.
The MX6600 has our MXC-45 mounted to the Θ axis. The
MXC-45’s built-in rotational stop allows easy electrode/pipette
replacement. MX6600s come standard with our ABP-R mounting
plate. The design of this mounting plate enables coarse positioning
between platform mounting holes as well as 360° of coarse
rotational positioning. If rotation with a solid submicron
level stop is required, the MX-RS rotation stage is designed
to mount directly into the ABP-R as well as to the base of
the MX6600.
