MT-1078/MT-2078/MT-2278 X, Y translation systems for microscopes
Sutter Instrument’s MT-1078, MT-2078 and MT-2278 translation systems offer X-Y platforms for microscopes with large fixed stages, allowing easy access to biological preparations and objectives. The MT-1078 is manual, while the MT-2078 and MT-2278 are motorised with MP-285 or MPC-200-ROE control respectively. These robust and stable systems are suitable for Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss and Leica upright and inverted microscopes, and are particularly suited to multi-site electrophysiology. The design allows multiple sites of a preparation to be observed while simultaneously performing electrophysiological recordings, and provides mounting options for inserts, flanges, Petri dishes and other accessories.
