Benchmark Stereotaxic Instrument
W/45º Earbars

  
This sleek new look in stereotaxic instrumentation offers several practical advantages. The rounded corners do not become chipped or scratched and do not nick or scratch other objects. The narrower profile is more space efficient. The surface finish is both more durable and more easily cleanable than conventional paint. The entire instrument may be autoclaved if desirable. The smooth consistent movements are a pleasure to operate.

FEATURES
  • Superior bushings make this the only autoclaveable stereotaxic instrument, and contribute to the smooth feel of the manipulator movements.
  • The instrument has a laser etched grid for probe alignment and verification. Vernier scales on each axis allow reading to 0.1 mm. The scale numbers are oriented for user convenience, and laser engraved with extremely fine lines for maximum alignability.
  • Solid, reliable locks allow tilting the universal joint in one plane, and securing it there so it will not slip or be moved accidentally. Probes can be angled in either the AP plane, or the ML plane.
  • The entire stereotaxic instrument is electrically groundable from a single point.
  • The movement/rotation is faster than other instruments, but easily aligned to 0.1 mm.
  • The default ear bars have a 45 degree taper into the ear. This avoids puncturing the tympanic membrane. Configurations and accessories for mouse, rat and other species are available. A selection of probe holders is available.
