(Click to see larger image) Narishige's MN-151 is a lightweight, 3-axis mechanical micromanipulator which has coarse movements in the X, Y, and Z directions. In addition to the 3 coarse axes of movement, the MN-151 also incorporates fine, joystick-controlled movements in the X-Y plane. A knob with 5 um gradations provides fine mechanical movement in the Z axis.
The MN-151 is very versatile, and can be mounted in a variety of orientations on both the left and right sides of a microscope stage. It can be used to manipulate the primary needle holder in applications such as Drosophila, C. elegans, Xenopus, and Zebrafish microinjection. It also can be used in other applications such as mammalian oocyte microinjection, where it can be used as a versatile holding-pipette manipulator and for Yeast Tetrad microdissection.
