MMN-1 NARISHIGE manual 3-axis mechanical approach unit

The Narishige MMN-1 3-axis mechanical approacher is a coarse displacement manual micromanipulator for rapid preparation of micropipettes prior to fine micromanipulation. It can be mounted on the light column of inverted microscopes using standard adapters. This robust, intuitive manipulator is used in combination with hydraulic models for patch-clamp and applications requiring precise initial positioning.

Features of theMMN-1 NARISHIGE manual mechanical 3-axis closer

  • Three axes with coarse X/Y/Z movement of 30 mm each
  • Direct-drive design with smooth manual movement
  • Universal illumination column attachment for inverted microscopes, with adapters
  • Robust construction, compatible with Narishige hydraulic accessories
  • Responsive operation with affordable torque, economical price
