Oil Hydraulic Micromanipulators

Single-Axis Oil Hydraulic Fine Microdrive Micromanipulator (Skull Mounting)

MO-95: $4,972.97 † - Ships in 3-5 days

Narishige's MO-95 is a remote-controlled oil-hydraulic micromanipulator for chronic experiments on the skulls of middle size animals, mainly monkeys. Employment of the oil hydraulic system enables microelectrodes to be inserted by remote control, without vibration. The chamber method is used, so that slight movements by the subject animal will not dislodge the microelectrode, while attachment/ detachment can be done freely. The acrylic XY stage makes it easy to position the microelectrodes with great accuracy while visually confirming their location. Microelectrodes ranging from 0.3 to 2mm can be used, by adjusting the positions of the packing and the microelectrodes themselves. Since this model uses the microelectrode expose method, any kind of microelectrode can be used. When the chain bar is filled with Ringer's solution, brain activity stops and long time recording becomes possible.

Oil Hydraulic Micromanipulator

MO-96: $6,756.76 † - Ships in 3-5 days

Narishige's MO-96 is a oil hydraulic micromanipulator meant to be mounted on the skull of a medium-sized animal such as monkeys to perform chronic experiments. Its 15mm fine movement range permits deeper brain insertion of a microelectrode. The MO-96 allows a separately available guide tube to be fitted for precise positioning and insertion of a microelectrode into hard tissue or deep brain cells. Despite these added features, the drive unit has reduced its weight to lighten the burden on the animal.

Its remotely controlled oil hydraulic system permits vibration-free insertion of a microelectrode. With the detachable/attachable drive unit fixed on the skull mount chamber, even if the animal head moves, the microelectrode can be held in position. A transparent acrylic X-Y stage permits visual observation of the microelectrode insertion. By adjusting the positions of the gasket and the electrode holder, various types of microelectrodes can be used with the MO-96. The skull mount chamber can be filled with Ringer's solution to bring the functioning of the brain to a complete halt, which permits recording for prolonged periods of time.

*Used in combination with a pulse motor microdrive, this system permits even more accurate operation.

Head Holder for Rats with Anesthesia Mask

SGM-3: $2,355.68 †

The SGM-3 is designed for fixing the head simply, for non-stereotaxic fixation. Since the compact design allows itself a low gravity fixation, it can be set under the microscope stage.
The clamping method is based on 3 point fixation (mouth, nose and ear) that makes the fixation stable. The nosepiece can be detached and changed and by using the dedicated anesthetic mask, it will be easily to experiment with use of anesthesia.
By attaching the holding instrument to a single bar, it the head can be fixed stably and allows the head angle to be freely adjusted through 360�.
The shape and functions are simple, yet this holder can be used for many different purposes. The SGM-3 is for rats. The [page SGM-4]SGM-4 is for mice. The [page SG-3N]SG-3N (for rats) and [page SG-4N]SG-4N (for mice) do not include the anesthetic mask.
