Rock solid motorized micromanipulator
Engineered for stability, and built on a twelve-pound steel plate, this instrument is chosen for high resolution micro-recording. HS6 serves equally well as a base for other precision micro-drives. HS6 can be bolted directly to a lab fixture or vibration-free platform. Resolution is extremely high — each graduation on its large micrometer barrels indicates just 5 µm movements. Rack and pinion drive, V-shaped guideways and cross roller bearings give sure, repeatable movements without side play, slipping or sticking. All contact parts are milled of hardened steel. A flexible ball-joint assembly allows the electrode to be positioned at any angle relative to the x, y or z axes. The entire manipulator tilts forward to 25º allowing rapid coarse adjustment of the electrode and allowing cell penetration along the axis of any of the micrometers.
