SliceScope Pro systems are a range of fully integrated and motorised patch clamping solutions. They allow the user to control manipulators, microscope platforms, microscope condenser and objective focus all from simple user consoles. The SliceScope a fixed stage, focussing nosepiece microscope. This defines a new bench mark in imaging and electrophysiology research. Developed in collaboration with the world leading researchers…
The In-Vivo motorised micromanipulator (IVM) was developed to meet the requirements of the most demanding in-vivo applications. High quality materials and precision assembly, along with the super smooth motion and long travel means that the IVM is stable, versatile and low-noise. It’s perfectly suited to electrophysiology and microinjection procedures and is available with single or three axes of motion. Features: • Ultra stab…
The Scientifica Universal Motorised Stage (UMS) provides rapid, accurate and intuitive remote control translation of your microscope around a sample. Designed to be used in combination with a fixed nose microscopy platform, the 400mm x 200mm UMS provides complete microscope support and the 50mm of travel in both the X and Y axes allows you to roam the largest of samples. An optional Z axis focus control is also available provi…
Based on the same solid engineering principles as our class leading PatchStar micromanipulators, the MicroStar enables the researcher to arrange up to eight electrodes around a sample. This makes it especially ideal for neuroscientists studying synaptic connectivity and networks but also for a wider range of applications where space around tissue samples is at a premium. Our real achievement in the design of this product is th…
The LASU system is perfect for users engaging in optogenetics, uncaging or other photo-stimulation experiments. The laser spot positioning is accurate and repeatable enabling fast experimental manipulation of biological systems. Based on the highly successful design of Scientifica's award-winning Multiphoton Imaging System, LASU uses 'Galvo' mirrors for fast, accurate and repeatable laser spot positioning. The wide range of l…
The PatchPro systems are fully integrated patch clamping solutions that work in conjunction with fixed stage nosepiece focussing scopes from Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon and Leica. They allow the user to control manipulators, microscope platforms, microscope focus and temperature control all from one neat, simple user console. With the versatility to freely combine numerous individual devices, the PatchPro systems will be perfect for…
Crucial for every experimental setup is a stable mounting system. The Scientifica range of slice platforms, top plates and microscope stages has been developed for researchers using upright or inverted microscopes who would like to move outside the field of view of the objective. Various configurations can achieve this in different ways, either by translating the entire microscope between fixed apparatus, or where laser inputs…
The SliceMate is a temperature controlled submerged recording chamber for biological samples; neatly housed in one compact unit. It utilizes cutting edge technology to give outstanding temperature control in a compact, easy and convenient package which replaces the clumsy, slow reacting and problematic water bath designs. A peltier element allows you to heat or cool the solution whilst a data file of the actual temperature is…
The LBM-7 was designed and developed in conjunction with scientists to be stable, have low drift and be easy to use. It bridges the gap between coarse manipulators and micromanipulators. Affectionately known as the Little Blue Manipulator, this device can be easily configured from left to right-handed. With seven axes of movement, four linear and three rotational, combined with micron resolution, the LBM-7 was designed to serv…
