Manual micromanipulator MHW-4-1 NARISHIGE

The Narishige MHW-4-1 micromanipulator is a single-axis water-hydraulic device designed for the fine positioning of micropipettes or electrodes. Used in electrophysiology, it offers high-precision control thanks to a stable hydraulic system, a backlash-free mechanism and optimal stability. It is designed to be combined with other manual manipulators such as the MMN-1 to ensure vibration-free fine adjustments.

Features of the NARISHIGE MHW-4-1 Manual Micromanipulator

  • Precise hydraulic control on one axis (usually Z or Y)
  • Travel range: 10 mm with backlash-free screw system
  • Soft micrometer wheel for ultra-stable positioning
  • Compact design compatible with manual translation systems
  • Ideal as a complement to a coarse manipulator such as the MMN-1
  • Suitable for patch-clamp and intracellular recordings
