This compact manipulator features linear position-sensing digital scales and a convenient remote display center.
Operation is easy and precise. Simply move the probe to Bregma and touch the zeroing button. Once all displays read zero, move the probe until each of the three axes displays the desired coordinates.
In addition to our innovative digital scales, the Deluxe model includes a new high stability manipulator design that is unique in the market. The Deluxe manipulator includes a dual drive system on the dorsal ventral manipulator. The dual drive system includes a coarse adjustment for quick movements toward the target area. In addition, a fine adjustment is available at the base of the manipulator to virtually eliminate the potential for any vibration to be transmitted to the probe from your hand. This system utilizes a high precision worm gear that provides for extremely fine and smooth movement with no vibration. In addition, the Deluxe manipulator includes a high torque clamp system on the tilt mechanism for the greatest stability. A quick release spring centering pin facilitates quick and repeatable centering at zero degrees. The Benchmark Deluxe manipulator system is the most advanced stereotaxic manipulator on the market today.
This package includes a deluxe manipulator and the readout control console. It can be adapted for use with Stoelting or Kopf Instrument stereotaxic bases.
