Narishige's MF2 is a versatile tool to fabricate pipettes of your preference. The MF2 Microforge offers a wide range of functions for making many different kinds of microtools by processing the microneedle tips. The MF2 fabricates various kinds of pipettes by micro-works of cutting, fire-polishing, bending or forming a spike. Being able to view the tip of the pipette in the microscope ensures efficiency in producing the pipette tip of your preference. The microscope is designed as a compact yet robust unit which reduces the risk of pipette breakage during handling. All of the fine controls are performed by reliable knobs installed on the microscope. The focusing knob can be switched to the left side of the microscope if needed. The readout of the heater level, which is essential for the work, is indicated on display. The heater can be turned on and off with a foot switch. The LED lamp as the light source allows brightness adjustment from low to high.
* Eyepiece/objective lens are sold separately. Please select one best suits your needs from designated sets.

Narishige's MF3 ienables seamless pipette customization while observing the tip of a micropipette. The MF2 Microforge enhances microscope performance, offering brighter, higher-resolution observation compared to previous models. The microscope has been designed to be compact yet robust. It is engineered to easily position the pipette within the field of view, thus minimizing the risk of pipette breakage. The customization process is facilitated by operating the control knobs located near the microscope. The pipette's tip can be customized to suit specific applications thanks to the technique of cutting, bending, polishing, and spike creation. The critical heater settings for each technique are displayed on the screen, and the heater on/off is controlled via a foot switch. The brightness of the LED lamp is adjustable from low to high intensity.
