NMN-21 NARISHIGE 3-axis mechanical micromanipulator for patch clamp
The Narishige NMN-21 micromanipulator is a three-axis handheld device designed for patch-clamp and micromanipulation applications requiring precise and stable positioning. Thanks to its combination of a coarse movement axis and a fine axis dedicated to Z, it allows fluid and intuitive adjustment while maintaining a compact structure. The NMN-21 is compatible with upright and inverted microscopes via dedicated brackets.
NMN-21 NARISHIGE features
- Three manual axes (X/Y coarse, Z with fine micro-adjustment)
- 10 mm travel on each axis with precision screw thread
- Z micro-adjustment via micrometer wheel for slow ascent
- Stable mount compatible with 10 mm diameter rods
- Compatible with universal mounts for upright or inverted microscopes
- Compact design for easy integration on narrow platforms
- Robust metal construction for long-term stability and accuracy
