When recording from organotypic slices or other cell cultures grown on glass coverslips, it is often necessary to view multiple sites with a microscope without disturbing stimulating and recording electrodes. This is accomplished by mounting the chamber, micromanipulators and other apparatus on a fixed stage (available  for mounting on the SPT tower system). The microscope is placed on a moveable platform with fine adjustment in the x and y axes.

VT-1 and VT-2 are large x-y platforms made to carry the weight of a microscope and its attachments, while providing fine motion control, up to 25mm in both directions. Manual adjustments are made with ultra fine screw drives providing resolution > 1µ to add minimum height to the microscope.

*    Ask for heavy load type.
**  Other dimensions available .

Both translation tables can be mounted on  the basic platform  of the  SPT tower system.
