MN-4 NARISHIGE 3-axis manual approach unit

Narishige’s MN-4 is a 3-axis manual approacher used in conjunction with a hydraulic micromanipulator to bring the micropipette into the microscope’s field of view.
Its fully manual control offers excellent responsiveness at a very affordable price.
Compared with the MMN-1 model, installation and set-up have been simplified. It incorporates a rotation mechanism that makes it easy to change the sample or micropipette.
