Narishige's M-152 is a three-dimensional coarse manual manipulator with simple design. This compact, lightweight model offers coarse manipulation only and is very simple to use. A bar mount is provided to enable installation by either a mounting adaptor or magnetic stand.
When used in conjunction with a micromanipulator such as the MMO-220C, quick three-dimensional operation is possible in low magnification experiments using a stereo microscope.
*For attachment to the microscope, P-1A height adjustment plate (not included) and a suitable adaptor is required (standard accessories).
*The ball joint that attaches the micromanipulator can be replaced by MMO-220C single-axis oil hydraulic micromanipulator (sold separately). *A needle holder, such as our MINJ-4, Narishige's HI-7, H-7 or HI-9, also needs to be purchased separately.

Three-Axis Coarse/Fine Compact Micromanipulator
MM-3:
$1,470.27
†
- In Stock
Narishige's MM-3 is amongst the most popular three axis coarse/fine compact micromanipulator. Its smooth drive and stable controls have made the MM-3 a classic and popular micromanipulator for decades. Single-axis fine movement in the same direction as the microelectrode or needle provides a high level of control when approaching a specimen. The three-axes of coarse movement operate via strudy rack & pinion mechanisms, enabling the microelectrode or needle to be placed near the specimen quickly.
Handles on both sides of the X- and Z-axis make this equipment suitable for both left- and right-handed operators, and a tension adjustment is also available to prevent the unit from dropping under its own weight. If used properly, this model's smoothness and stability will remain unchanged even over several decades of use.
*The MM-3 mounts via an extra-heavy-duty 12mm mounting rod (not included). For mounting next to the microscope or target, use the GJ-8 heavy-duty magnetic stand or equivalent equipment. Contact us for other options if mounting directly to a microscope stage is required for maximum stability.
*It is possible to substitute a hydraulic micromanipulator, such as the MO-10, for the standard H-13 micropipette holder when remote control of X-axis is required.

Narishige's MN-151 is a lightweight, 3-axis mechanical micromanipulator which has coarse movements in the X, Y, and Z directions. In addition to the 3 coarse axes of movement, the MN-151 also incorporates fine, joystick-controlled movements in the X-Y plane. A knob with 5 um gradations provides fine mechanical movement in the Z axis. The MN-151 is very versatile, and can be mounted in a variety of orientations on both the left and right sides of a microscope stage. It can be used to manipulate the primary needle holder in applications such as Drosophila, C. elegans, Xenopus, and Zebrafish microinjection. It also can be used in other applications such as mammalian oocyte microinjection, where it can be used as a versatile holding-pipette manipulator and for Yeast Tetrad microdissection. *Please note that the P-1A Height Adjustment Plate (not included) is required to attach the MN-151 to Narishige's bracket systems. A needle holder, such as our MINJ-4, Narishige's HI-7, H-7 or HI-9, also needs to be purchased separately.

FAQ's
Q: What are the main differences between the MN-151 and MN-153 micro manipulators?
A: MN-153 and MN-151 both have 3-axis course movement. MN-153 has an additional fine movement in the X-axis (the direction toward the sample) and no fine movement in Y or Z. MN-151 has an additional fine movement in the Z-axis (lowering down to the same plane as the sample) plus it has the joystick for fine, coordinated movement in X and Y. If you move the joystick left and right, the needle moves towards and away from the sample, respectively. If you move the joystick toward you or away from your, the needle moves toward you and away from you in the Y axis, respectively. The MN-151 makes it easier to line up the needle before injection. However, the biggest advantage is that the needle moves at a speed proportional to the speed you move the joystick, so it is easier to make the needle pierce the eggs.
Q: What are the types of mounting adapter needed to attach the MN-151 to the scope? Does the mounting adaptor attach below or behind the stage?
A: The NZ-19-2 mounts on the illumination pillar, not onto the stage. This makes it really easy to change samples, because on your scope, you can set it so that you can tilt the pillar toward the back, which will cause the micromanipulator to lift up and out of the way. The NZ-19-2 goes out to the side, NR2 goes up, and the MN-151 includes a P-1A bracket to come back toward you with a bar to mount the micromanipulator.

Narishige's MN-153 is a three axis coarse/fine direct drive micromanipulator with the capability of fine movement on the X-axis, enabling accurate linear approach to the cell with no danger of causing it any serious damage. Employment of the bar mount system provides complete installation flexibility and greatly broadens the range of possible applications.
*For attachment to the microscope, P-1A height adjustment plate (not included) and a suitable adaptor is required (standard accessories). *The ball joint that attaches the micromanipulator can be replaced by MMO-220A single-axis oil hydraulic micromanipulator (sold separately). *A needle holder, such as our MINJ-4, Narishige's HI-7, H-7 or HI-9, also needs to be purchased separately.

The MMO-4 micromanipulator features an oil hydraulic joystick that allows for smooth three-dimensional movement with a single control. This updated model works from both the left and right side of the sample without any conversion. Improved joystick movement is the key to greater control, and it reduces the risk of unwanted drift as well. The ergonomic hanging joystick enables users to keep their arms and hands on the table in a natural posture for comfortable prolonged use. An improved universal joint (UT-10) is also included, for stable, accurate attachment of a pipette holder and easy setting of pipette angle.
*For attachment to the microscope, a coarse manipulator and suitable mounting adaptor are required (sold separately). *Select Type B adaptor for mounting this manipulator in combination with MMN-1 coarse manipulator. *Changing the universal joint included with the micromanipulator to the double pipette holder HD-21 (sold separately) enables performance of embryo biopsy. *Changing the universal joint that attaches the micromanipulator to MMO-220A/MMO-220B single-axis oil hydraulic micromanipulator enables four-dimensional remote controlled movement. *In combination with the return mechanism UT-R (sold separately), MMO-4 enables mechanisms of retracting the pipette.

FAQ's
Q: What is the main advantage of the MMO-4 hydraulic micromanipulator over the MN-151 mechanical micro manipulator?
A: With a mechanical micromanipulator like the MN-151, the user touches the actual micromanipulator to move the joystick. This can introduce some vibration and some torque during movement. With a hydraulic micromanipulator like the MMO-4, the joystick is separated from the micromanipulator by the hydraulic tubes, so the user doesn't touch it, and so the movement is smooth and well isolated.
