MT-75 Series Gantry Style Stands
For ultimate flexibility in positioning micromanipulators or other
devices adjacent to your microscope, look to the MT-75 series stands.
These unique gantry systems offer adjustable vertical and horizontal
axes and up to 360 degrees of rotation. Your manipulator or other device
will mount to the 3/4in thick aluminum cantilever which is dovetailed
for secure positioning. The cantilever assembly is mounted on a heavy
2in diameter stainless steel post. The post is supported within the same
extruded aluminum tower used in our MT-70 stands. The tower can be
center mounted or edge mounted to the base-plate for an additional
degree of positioning freedom.
Vertical positioning is achieved with an aluminum collar which
securely locks onto the steel post to fix the height of the system. The
MT-75 is suitable for use with most inverted microscopes, and can be
adjusted from a minimum height of 8 5/8in to a maximum height of 12
1/2in. The MT-75S is suitable for most upright scopes, and can be
adjusted from 6 5/8in to 9 1/2in. These systems are very stiff,
deflecting approximately 2µm per 25mm rise with a 1.5 kg load at the
end of the cantilever.
A quick lock mechanism allows easy unlocking and rotation of the
post/cantilever assembly up to 320 degrees, then rotation back to the
same positive stop position and locking in place (e.g. insertion and
removal of microelectrodes from headstages). Remove the positive stop
and you have a full 360 degree rotation. A Teflon washer contributes to
the smooth rotation of the system.
The solid aluminum baseplate has through-holes on 1in (25mm) centers
for mounting onto tables. The cantilever has eighteen 1in spaced 10-32
holes along the edges. A pair of holes with 3.5in spacing will
accommodate our MP-85 micromanipulator with the rotating base removed.
