13 results about "Micromanipulator" patented technology

A micromanipulator is a device which is used to physically interact with a sample under a microscope, where a level of precision of movement is necessary that cannot be achieved by the unaided human hand. It may typically consist of an input joystick, a mechanism for reducing the range of movement and an output section with the means of holding a microtool to hold, inject, cut or otherwise manipulate the object as required. The mechanism for reducing the movement usually requires the movement to be free of backlash. This is achieved by the use of kinematic constraints to allow each part of the mechanism to move only in one or more chosen degrees of freedom, which achieves a high precision and repeatability of movement, usually at the expense of some absolute accuracy.

Manipulator for minute work

To control a rotation operation of an end effector smoothly and reliably.SOLUTION: A parallel link mechanism causes one end of a link 13 to make a linear movement by a plurality of linear actuators 14 supported by a base for each link, and moves an end effector 12 connected to the other end of each ink 13. The parallel link mechanism includes a rotation support part 17 provided between the end effector 12 and the parallel link mechanism and supporting the end effector 12 rotatably around a predetermined rotation axis, and a hydraulic drive mechanism for generating rotation force around the rotation axis for the end effector 12. The movement to rotate the end effector 12 is generated by giving liquid pressure variation of working fluid to the hydraulic drive mechanism from outside.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

Application of EAG in determination of insect retina potential

The invention discloses an application of EAG in measuring the retinal potential of insects, which is characterized in that core components of the EAG, namely an IDAC-2 controller and a Combi probe, are utilized to extend the functions of the EAG, special retinal potential measuring equipment does not need to be purchased, and the hardware cost is reduced by about 70%. An original electrode is improved, an original antenna locator is replaced with an eye electrode support, a smell stimulation device is removed and replaced with a built light stimulation device, and cross-function application of the EAG from'antenna potential measurement 'to'retina potential measurement' is achieved. The EgPro software synchronously triggers the photostimulation device and data acquisition, and the problem of phase error caused by desynchrony of photostimulation and potential recording in a traditional method is solved. An electrolytic sharpening tungsten filament electrode is combined with a micromanipulator for positioning, so that compound eye single-cell-level precise puncture is realized.
