SM-25A Manual Stereotactic Micromanipulator – NARISHIGE

Narishige’s SM-25A stereotactic micromanipulator is designed for multi-registration with stereotactic instruments while remaining extremely slim and stable. It incorporates a fine Z-axis displacement unit for precise adjustments and a microelectrode holder. Rotations are possible in all three planes, with the horizontal plane pivoting via a handle to easily adjust the angle of the electrodes. With its minimum graduation of 10 μm and 10 mm fine travel, it offers precise and flexible control for experiments requiring micrometric adjustments.

Features of the SM-25A stereotactic micromanipulator

The SM-25A NARISHIGE micromanipulator, for multichannel recording with stereotactic instruments, is designed to be as slim as possible without compromising stability.

The SM-25A includes a fine Z-axis displacement unit for precise adjustments.

A bracket allows the microelectrodes to be fixed in place.

Rotation is possible in all three planes, and the horizontal plane can be rotated using a manoeuvring handle. This allows the angular position of the microelectrodes to be adjusted.

This series comprises two types (SM-25A and SM-25C), which differ in the position of the unit in the Z axis

  • The SM-25A includes a fine displacement unit for precise adjustments
  • The SM-25C has a hydraulic drive for remote movement control and drift limitation
