MDS-1 Motorised Stereotactic Micromanipulator – NARISHIGE
Narishige’s MDS-1 motorised stereotactic micromanipulator motorises the Z axis to perform operations with a degree of precision that is impossible to achieve manually. Ideal for implanting GRIN lenses, optical fibres or silicon probes into the brains of mice and rats, it offers remote digital control with speed or distance/time adjustment. Its 20mm amplitude, adjustable speed from 0.1µm/s to 2500µm/s and minimum pitch of 0.1µm ensure extremely accurate positioning for demanding stereotactic experiments.
Features of the MDS-1 motorised stereotactic micromanipulator
- The MDS-1 motorised stereotactic micromanipulator allows the Z axis to be motorised.
- Ideal for precise control that requires careful work in mouse/rat brains, such as GRIN lens implantation, fibre optic insertion and silicon probes for multi-neuron recordings
- The drive unit is controlled digitally and remotely, offering control options that are impossible to perform manually
- The MDS-1 can be set in two modes: speed-dependent, distance-dependent and time-dependent
- The drive unit can accommodate a shaft with an external diameter of 3 to 8 mm
