- Discontinued
|
|
Narishige's MJ-2 is a three-axis coarse/fine micromanipulator freely fixed with a magnetic stand, with joystick control for better operability. Thanks to incorporation of a joystick, micro tools can be freely controlled on both X and Y planes. Rotating the lever changes the moving ratio, so adjustment is easy.
Three-dimensional movement is possible, with coarse movement provided on the X and Y axes, and coaxial coarse and fine movement on the Z axis. The MJ-2 is firmly and freely attached by using the magnetic stand, and the approach angles can be set via the tilting plate.

Narishige's MX-1 is a manual micromanipulator specially designed to overcome problems of drift caused by temperature change, and to minimize the jitters invariably associated with manual operation. Coarse and fine movements can be performed for each axis and fine control with 1um minimum gradations is possible. Incorporation of a rotation mechanism makes it easy to attach and detach microelectrodes.
Different models for right- and left-handed users are available. Please specify right- or left-handed model when ordering.

Three-Axis Coarse/Fine Micromanipulator with Tilting Stand for More Convenient Patch Clamping
| |
MX-2:
$4,702.70
†
- Ships in 1-5 days
|
|
Narishige's MX-2 is a three-axis coarse/fine micromanipulator comprised of the MX-1 and an attached TM-1 tilting stand, for easier and more convenient patch clamping. Its unique structure prevents hand jitters passing to the tip of the microelectrode, and obviates concerns about drifting caused by temperature fluctuations. The tilting stand offers outstanding stability and allows the manipulator to be set at any angle for easier approach to the specimen. Furthermore, it enables the manipulator to move horizontally as well as vertically in line with the microelectrode. The stand has a magnetic base, so (as long as an iron plate is used) installation is possible even when no screw holes are provided. A rotating mechanism is also included, making the exchange of microelectrodes easy.
Different models for right- and left-handed users are available. Please specify right- or left-handed model when ordering.

Three-Axis Coarse/Fine Manual Micromanipulator
| |
NMN-21:
$4,108.11
†
- Ships in 1-5 days
|
|
Narishige's NMN-21 is a manually operated micromanipulator which minimizes jitter for simplicity and high performance.
Drift and electromagnetic disturbance are critical problems in patch clamping work. This mechanical micromanipulator was developed specifically for patch clamping: it does not employ a liquid hydraulic system (which is prone to drift due to temperature changes), has no springs (a common cause of mechanical drift), nor a motor (which can be a source of electrical noise). Its body is designed to absorb vibrations, so that even at high magnifications, problems of jittering are virtually non-existant. The NMN-21 is based on a drum type design and utilizes a pair of independent sliders that serve to isolate vibrations. In addition, vibrations are often caused by the operator handling the control knob, which is usually connected to a slider. To overcome this problem, the control knob of the NMN-21 is fixed independently and separate from the slider. High mass and a low center of gravity provide exceptionally steady and stable performance. The overall design is compact, so installation requires a minimum of space. With coarse and fine manipulators integrated into the compact body, this model handles a full range of required motions, from moving a microelectrode into the microscope field of view to making delicate contact with cells.
* Can be mounted directly on an optical bench-type isolation table
* Can be firmly fixed to any part of a steel isolation table with the NMN-C magnetic stand (sold separately)
* Can be mounted directly to microscopes via suitable adapters (sold separately)
* AP-14/AP-13-3 patch clamp headstage holders can be attached via the integrated UST-2 solid universal joint
Setting Example
The first photo shows a mounting adapter setting example. The second photo shows the setting example with the ITS2-N/ ITS2-O/ ITS2-Z/ ITS2-L (Microscope Isolation Systems) plus NR-12 (Rotating Micromanipulator Clamp) plus NMN-21.

Thin 3-Axis Coarse/Fine Mechanical Micromanipulator
(for multi-channel recording)
| |
NMN-25:
$3,891.89
†
- Ships in 1-5 days
|
|
Narishige's NMN-25 packs similar features to those of the NMN-21 into a thinner drive unit to facilitate multi-channel recording. The placement of all three axes' control knobs in one plane instead of three, and the adoption of a simpler holder fixing block, enables several manipulators to be installed and operated close together without interfering with each other. Installation on an isolation table makes use of multiple manipulators straightforward. Like the NMN-21, which was developed specially for patch clamping, this mechanical manipulator integrates coarse and fine movements, and employs a body design which absorbs vibrations. As a result, operation is precise, stable, and free from concerns about drift and electromagnetic disturbance.
*For attachment directly to a microscope, a suitable adaptor is required (sold separately).
*The micromanipulator can be mounted directly on the isolation table, or for quickly changing samples or electrodes, use the NMN-25A dedicated slider base for NMN-25.
*AP-13-3/AP-14 patch clamp headstage holders can be attached to this unit (sold separately).
