Manual stereotaxic system 68801

The standard RWD 68801 system is a manual U-shaped frame designed for stereotaxy on small animals (rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.). It offers 100 µm accuracy thanks to its double-pitch screws, an engraved “UP” indicator to prevent errors, and independent vertical/horizontal locking. The extended platform (400 × 255 mm) improves stability and visual comfort thanks to laser graduations and a curved nose clip.

Features of the 68801 Manual Stereotactic System

  • Accuracy: 100 µm in XYZ
  • Double-pitch screw: smooth, stable handling
  • UP indicator: prevents axis inversion
  • Separate locking: stable vertical position at any angle
  • Extended platform 400 × 255 mm
  • Curved nose clip and ear bar: optimised support
  • Compatible with syringe pump, micro-camera and drill
