MN-151 3-axis micromanipulator with NARISHIGE joystick

The MN-151 micromanipulator is designed to be light, compact and easy to handle for microinjection or microscope
micro-injection or microscope manipulation applications.
It is operated by a joystick, providing fluid control in the X-Y plane; coarse movements are possible in X, Y and Z, while fine movements are possible in the X-Y plane.
movements are possible in X, Y and Z, while the Z axis also has fine movement for precise vertical
vertical adjustment. A ball joint allows the angle of approach to be adjusted without interfering with the use of the joystick.
the use of the joystick.
Its mounting system is flexible: it can be fixed to a magnetic column or via a special
specific mounting adapter. For installation on a microscope, a height adjustment plate
P-1A height adjustment plate (sold separately) and a mounting adapter are required.
