Designed to be light and compact for diverse applications, this manual micromanipulator features joystick control for excellent operability. The joystick enables the micropipette to be freely controlled on the X and Y planes, and coarse movement is provided on the X, Y and Z axes. The Z-axis offers fine movement as well, making vertical adjustment both easy and accurate: used with the joystick, it also enables three-dimensional fine movement. A ball joint is attached so that approach angles can be set without interfering with the joystick operation. The model's versatility also extends to installation, with a bar mount system which allows attachment by either a magnetic stand or mounting adaptor.
