![]() ![]() Such a system is also useful for experiments on cells in culture where one wishes to monitor several cells not in the same field of view, e.g. The translator allows visualization and/or imaging of multiple tissue locations while maintaining multiple stable recordings from the preparation. This methodology was developed by electrophysiologists recording from tissue slice preparations. It is designed to allow movement of a microscope’s optics with respect to the fixed stage(s). Furthermore, an available magnetic stainless steel insert holds the chamber and allows the easy positioning of magnetically attached small devices nearbyĪt the core of both the MT-1000 and MT-1078 translator systems is the MT-500 X-Y translation table. In this design, it is easy to add additional manipulators and other devices to expand a setup as the manipulator/chamber support is a single large platform. ![]() In the new MT-1078 translator system, the large fixed stage MT-78-FS is employed. Furthermore, the independent stand design minimizes movement-related cross talk between manipulators. Many prefer this methodology as it maximizes working room for adjusting the microscope and changing pipettes. The columns are positioned around a movable table that provides X-Y translation of the optical pathway in order to view multiple locations within the chamber at high resolution. MT-1000: the classic modular design features free-standing columns that provide rock solid mounting for the tissue recording chamber (MT-150) and multiple micromanipulators (MT-75). A new style (MT-1078) uses a single large, fixed stage that is used for multiple manipulators and for the sample as well. In the classic design (MT-1000), an independent stand is used for each manipulator and a similar stand holds the tissue chamber. The MT-1000/MT-1078 is a microscope translator, fixed-stage and manipulator platform for moving optical pathway electrophysiology. ![]()
