MP-225 motorized micromanipulator with
controller and ROE
|
The
MP-225 is designed primarily for positioning
patch and intracellular recording pipettes. We have
retained and refined the features most desired for
this type of work. An extended version of the popular
rotary optical encoder (ROE) is the sole input device
available with the MP-225. Like the MP-285, the
manipulator has a synthetic 4th axis for diagonal
advancement of the pipette; 16 different angles are
selectable via DIP switches. Speed and resolution of
movement are easily selected with a multiple position
thumbwheel, allowing fast/coarse movement and slow/ultra-fine
movement in 10 increments. Two commonly used robotic
movements have been incorporated for user convenience.
A single button press can initiate a move to a Home
position for pipette exchange or to a user defined
Work position for quick location of the pipette near
the recording location.
A
display on the ROE gives position location. As all
controls are located on the ROE, the controller can be
moved to a less accessible area of your setup and does
not need to occupy prime space in an equipment rack.
As always, our technical support team is available to
address your particular needs and answer all questions
before and after your purchase.
