Large MP-78 / MPC-78 motorised mobile platforms
Sutter Instrument’s MP-78 and MPC-78 motorised mobile platforms are designed for multi-site experiments and two-photon microscopy, enabling the biological preparation and micromanipulators to be moved simultaneously without interrupting electrophysiological recording. They offer precise positioning of the preparation and electrodes, with high mechanical stability. The MP-78 version is controlled by the MPC-285 system and the MPC-78 version by the MPC-200. The platforms can accommodate most Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss and Leica upright and inverted microscopes, as well as various culture chambers or slides, and are compatible with the MP-285, MP-225 and MP-265 micromanipulators.
