Description

  • 25mm travel/axis, .2µm resolution, 1.7mm/sec maximum speed
  • True fourth axis, not interpolated.
  • Man-readable scales, travel limit switches
  • More bearing for improved axial stability

The MX831 motorized micromanipulator is ideal for patch recording experiments. The MX831 offers exceptionally smooth linear travel and uses a precision pre-loaded lead screw to ensure drift-free operation. The motorized 4-axis micromanipulator incorporates our MXC-45 pipette holder mounted to an adjustable clamp on the Q axis. This clamp allows the MXC-45 and Q axis to be adjusted to the desired angle of approach from 0° to 180° for true axial approach. The MXC-45’s built in rotational stop allows easy pipette replacement.

The MX831 can be used with our e series and MC2000 controllers to drive the 831 stage through a closed loop interface between the controller and the motor encoder. The closed loop connection ensures 0.2 µm and 0.1 µm resolution, respectively. The encoder coupling also enables the use of the DR1000 digital readout for repeated or relative positioning requirements. All cables are shielded to ensure noise-free operation during sensitive electrophysiology experiments.

MX831s come standard with our MX312P mounting platform. This platform mounted configuration enables maximum flexibility in height adjustment.
