Product benefits

Precise sample positioning with a fixed microscope

The MSP is designed to enable manual movement of your sample in the X and Y axes without the need to move the microscope. This feature is especially important for 2-photon or confocal imaging, where microscope stability is paramount.

Versatile for in vivo and in vitro research

Switch between configurations by exchanging the plate holder with a specialised platform featuring tapped holes for various mounting systems.

Reliable perfusion positioning

The in vitro plate includes the Slice Recording Chamber Kit with magnetic mounting and Bath Perfusion Tools, streamlining perfusion positioning and reducing reliance on custom-built perfusion inlets.

Flexible mounting around your microscope

The screw-down base offers a small footprint, allowing you to mount the sample anywhere around your microscope. Enjoy precise positioning and experimental flexibility to suit your current and future research needs.

Perform long-term recordings

The Moveable Sample Plate's robust steel and aluminium construction provides stability for your sensitive and long-term patch clamp recordings.

Seamlessly incorporate into your set-up

The adjustable height feature ensures compatibility with various upright and inverted microscopes, providing the flexibility to meet your specific requirements.

Ultra-stable mounting options

Choose between a powerful magnetic base or screw-down base for an easy and flexible platform fitting to your antivibration table.
