Motorized Micromanipulator

The flagship in our line of precision micromanipulators, the motorized MP-285 is affordable yet offers advanced features found in manipulators costing thousands more. Custom engineered stepping motors, precision cross-roller bearing slides and proprietary worm gear capstan drives form the basis of the watch-like mechanical system. The controller provides power to the stage motors with a quiet linear power supply to minimize el…

The Lambda TLED is a stand-alone LED light source that can be used with the transmitted light path of a microscope or in other applications with similar requirements. This basic system consists of an LED mounted on a special black-anodized aluminum heat sink and a controller. The Lambda TLED controller has intensity control and on-off control via a switch or TTL logic. The on-off time of the Lambda TLED is The Lambda TLED uses…

QUAD® Sutter Instrument 4-axis motorized micromanipulator, is easy-to use and features four independent axes. Three axes provide the X, Y, Z-orthogonal motion typical of most motorized micromanipulators. In the QUAD, Sutter introduces a true fourth axis to move the electrode coaxially at exactly the desired angle of approach. The fourth axis also significantly extends the range of travel for the system. The QUAD is very…

The new TRIO™-245 from Sutter Instrument is a highly stable 3-axis manipulator with 25mm of travel on each axis. The TRIO's synthetic 4th axis can be set in software as any angle between 0 and 90 degrees for diagonal movement. Based on a lead-screw design with a smaller overall size and footprint than most manipulators, the TRIO-245 is ideal for applications that require 2 pipettes in one setup or for setups where space is lim…

As time has shown, much of what makes a device popular is how easily it can be incorporated into an existing set-up. In the case of micromanipulators, this process has involved designing manipulator platforms that bolt directly to the frames of the most popular microscopes. Alternatively, we also offer rock-steady, free-standing platforms that support our manipulators by clamping to the table beside the microscope. Our MT-70 s…

Multi-Micromanipulator Systems

The Movable Objective Microscope (MOM) is designed to be an ultra-stable, versatile, fluorescence platform for electrophysiology experiments. The MOM is a new alternative to the popular technique employing a fixed-stage, upright microscope on a translating X-Y table. The advantage of the MOM is that only the microscope objective is moving in 3 dimensions. The main frame of the microscope, including the light source and camera…
