Motorized micromanipulator MicroStar

The ultimate motorised micromanipulator for network studies and long-term recordings on small cells and dendrites. A motorised micromanipulator with three axes of mechanical movement and a further virtual ‘approach’ axis, designed for intricate in vitro electrophysiology recordings. Record from multiple points simultaneously and determine connections between cells and subcellular structures, thanks to the slimline design. The electrical and audible quietness of the MicroStar makes it perfect for sensitive recordings, such as single channel recordings. Product benefits Fine movement control The high electronic resolution of the MicroStar creates smooth movement, without any uncontrolled motion, making the MicroStar perfect for accurate patching of small cells or dendrites. Detect small signals Zero electrical noise means the MicroStar will not produce any noise that interferes with or masks the signal. This makes the MicroStar extremely sensitive and able to detect small signals, for example during single channel recordings. Perform demanding long-term research Long-term potentiation studies on small cells and dendrites are made easy, thanks to the high stability of the MicroStar, with minimal drift. Maximised reach of cells in your sample The long travel in X, Y and Z axes means you can easily reach cells, and don’t need to worry about running out of travel when patching. Easy speed adjustment For greater control of pipette positioning and patching, switch between fast speed for coarse positioning and patch speed for making the patch. The speeds of each setting can also be adjusted within LinLab software.
