Mechanical Manipulators

MN-151 JOYSTICK TYPE MICROMANIPULATOR (Most Popular)

This lightweight joystick manipulator can easily be mounted on the left or right side of a microscope stage. In addition to coarse rack and pinion movements in the X, Y, and Z axis, it incorporates a fine joystick controlled movement in the X and Y planes and a fine mechanical movement in the Z axis.

M-152

The extensive use of light alloys in the construction of this manipulator keeps its weight down to an absolute minimum. The unit can be used as a three-axis manipulator or as a rapid coarse positioner when used in conjunction with a fine micromanipulator, such as the single axis MMW-220 hydraulic micromanipulator.

MN-153

Direct-drive type
This three-axis coarse manipulator provides extra fine control on the X axis. Narrow in design, and constructed largely from lightweight alloy, it can readily be fitted to a microscope stage for using the appropriate mounting adaptor stable manipulation with minimal vibration.

It is necessary to use the appropriate mounting adaptor to interface the MN-153 with the microscope.

NMN-21 Three-Dimensional Manual Micromanipulator
The NMN-21 is designed to operate without drifting --- one of the most critical problems in delicate patch clamping work. The unit has no hydraulic system (which can cause drifting because of temperature changes), and no springs. Jitters transmitted via the control knob, a typical limitation of manual systems, are minimized to avoid their vibrations reaching the electrode tips and disrupting fine manipulations. Even electromagnetic disturbance is eliminated , since the NMN-21 is motorless and has no actuator ; yet its compact body is sufficiently stable for use with multi-channel micromanipulation systems. If required, the unit can be fixed to the top of an isolation table with the specially designed GJ-12 magnet stand (optional).

Achieving vibration-free operation

The slider, which is one of the main mechanisms of a micromanipulator, actually consists of two independent sliders --- one used inside, the other outside. When the operator touches the control knob, which is connected to one slider, vibrations are caused. To overcome this problem, the control knob is fixed independently, separate from the slider.
