Smooth motion and instant response to hand adjustments makes theMX630 and the MX610 ideal for long term intracellular recordings. Thewater based hydraulic mechanism has a thermal expansion two to three times less than that of oil based systems, thus minimizing drift to less than 2 µm per hour at constant temperatures.MX600 series hydraulic micromanipulators have crossed roller bearings in each axis. This along with a metal bel…

The MT-1000 is a microscope translator, fixed-stage and manipulator platform for moving optical pathway electrophysiology. The modular design of the MT-1000 features freestanding columns that provide rock solid mounting for the tissue recording chamber and multiple micromanipulators, such as the MP-285 or MP-225. The columns are positioned around a movable table that provides X-Y translation of the optical pathway in order to…

The LaserStack™ laser launch features solid state diode lasers and AOTF beam selection in a modular, vertically integrated design to allow configuration of a laser launch for current applications and later expand it as new applications require. LaserStack™ can accommodate the following wavelengths: 405 nm, 445 nm, 473 nm, 488 nm, 515 nm, 532 nm, 561 nm, 640 nm, 660 nm. LaserStack™ outputs in a single mode fiber for use in spin…

Vector™ is a diffraction limited high-speed x,y scanner that enables a number of investigative methods from quantitative photobleaching analysis to direct specimen manipulation techniques such as photoablation. Vector™ is also designed for high-speed scanning imaging techniques, such as multiphoton imaging or laser scanning confocal microscopy.

The mSwitcher™ is a galvo-based port switcher that can support up to 3 imaging devices and allows millisecond switching between confocal, ablation, and TIRF modalities.

The mSAC™ is a high-speed spherical aberration correction device. Similar to an objective correction caller, the mSAC™ corrects for spherical aberration in thick samples and updates dynamically as focus depth is increased. The mSAC™ can be used with all objectives on a microscope.

The Ablate!™ is an ablation laser system with attenuatable power and rapid scanning (1000 pulses per second) capable of inflicting localized damage to intracellular structures, ideal in precision cutting for targeted wound control. Ablate!™ enables photo-ablation, photo-cutting, and photo-wounding utilizing a 532 nm laser pulsed at up to 70 µJ at up to 1 kHz.
