Versatile
Positioning
The manipulator arm controls medial-lateral and
ventral-dorsal using exclusive triple lead screws for faster positioning, and
anterior-posterior movement via dovetail slide movement, with 80mm of
travel possible in each direction. A universal joint allows the
researcher to change the angle of the probe up to 90° in either the
anterior-posterior or mediallateral planes. The improved locking mechanism on
the Lab Standard™ will hold any angle position without slipping. And of course,
it also provides an absolute lock at 90° vertical.
Easily-Read
Scales
All scales are oriented to be easily read from the
open end of the ‘U’ — the position from which most scientists prefer to
work.
The scale numerals are large, and easy to read. The scale lines are laser engraved, to allow the finest possible permanent marking of scales on all 3 axes. Precise alignment with facing vernier scales gives accurate resolution to 100 microns.
Smooth, Consistent
Movements
The Lab Standard’s™ exclusive, triple-lead screws
allow smooth consistent movements with the fastest positioning possible.
Included Components
Both 51600 and 51603 include the U-frame Base, Manipulator Arm(s) 51631 Standard Probe Holder(s) with corner clamp and 51621 Rat Adaptor (Nose Clamp Assembly and 18° Taper Ear Bars).
The 51650 and 51653 include Non-Puncture 45° Taper Ear Bars instead of 18° Taper Ear Bars (not shown).
Warmer ready base
Stoelting Stereotaxic Base Plates are
designed to be integrated with the Stoelting Rodent Warmer System (sold
separately) and are used to maintain body temperature throughout surgical
procedures. Thermal heating pads are embedded into Stoelting stereotaxic base
plates to avoid cross contamination with easy clean-up and maintain a sterile
environment during stereotaxic surgery. In addition, it can be used as a general
warming system or with a rectal thermal probe (sold separately) for homeothermic
regulation.
