MHW-103 NARISHIGE 3-axis water micromanipulator

The Narishige MHW-103 micromanipulator is a three-axis water-hydraulic device designed for patch-clamp experiments. It allows fine displacements of up to 10 mm in the X, Y and Z directions with high repeatability. Its operation is less sensitive to temperature variations than oil hydraulic systems, ensuring optimum stability for electrophysiological studies. The large-diameter drum drive allows precise positioning, while the compact unit is easily attached to the microscope with appropriate adapters. The fast-moving manipulator is not included, but can be coupled to the MHW-103 via the Type B adapter for the MMN-1.
