Motorised Moveable Top Plate

Compatible with all major upright microscopes the MMTP (Motorised Moveable Top Plate) is ideal for use with a confocal or multiphoton system.

It offers 25 mm of super smooth X & Y travel with a resolution of 20 nm. The manipulators and sample can be positioned as one, allowing movement to different fields of view of the objective, whilst the microscope remains fixed. This means that you can image different areas of interest whilst maintaining delicate patch clamp experiments. Up to 50 memory positions can be stored and recalled in XY & Z (focus) axes. The ultra low noise electronics means you can continue to record sensitive signals even during sample adjustment. Platform positioning can be carried out by either a joystick, control cube or with a PC.

This product is also available with manual adjustment. See the MTP product page here for more information.

Features

• Can be used to combine electrophysiology with confocal / multiphoton microscopy.
• Absolute stability comes as standard allowing for long term experiments.
• Compatible with ALL major upright fixed stage microscopes, so will add to your existing or new system.
• Large bearings for super smooth movement allows scanning of sample whilst still retaining patched cells.
• Compatible with all major manipulators allowing you to add existing or new units. Up to 50 selectable memory positions in X Y AND focus allow return to a position at the push of a button.
• Low noise electronic system with a cube, joystick or Linlab software control.

Scientifica have developed a range of control hardware, fully compatible with all motorised products, carefully designed to be simple to setup and intuitive to use straight out of the box. Using the Windows-based Linlab software supplied, the user can then further personalise the control devices if required.

These options are detailed in the control product area. 

The control options available are:

• The Control Cube

• The Joystick

• The PatchPad range

• Linlab control
