Stereotaxic for Small Animals, Single Manipulator, Digital. (Basic module)

Cat No.: RWD-68803 Description

The 68803 Desktop Digital Stereotaxic Instrument represents a significant advancement in precision neuroscience research tools, enhancing the standard stereotaxic platform with integrated digital measurement technology. This single-manipulator system features sealed electronic sensors that display real-time coordinate data with exceptional 10 micron (0.01mm) resolution, dramatically improving research efficiency by eliminating tedious manual vernier scale readings and calculations. Designed for the exacting requirements of modern neuroscience research, this instrument provides the accuracy and stability needed for precise brain targeting in rodents and other small laboratory animals.
 

Features:

• High-Precision Digital Measurement: Features a sealed electronic sensor system with LCD display showing real-time displacement distances at 10μm (0.01mm) resolution, critical for targeting small brain structures and nuclei.
• One-Key Zero Reset Function: Allows researchers to set any position (such as Bregma or Lambda) as the reference zero point, eliminating secondary readings and complex calculations for coordinate-based targeting.
• Interference-Free Electronics: Powered by AA batteries rather than AC power, eliminating electronic noise interference that could compromise sensitive electrophysiological recordings and neurophysiological measurements.
• Comprehensive Motion Range: Provides 80mm working distance in each dimension with 180° vertical rotation and 360° horizontal rotation, enabling access to virtually any brain region from multiple angles.
• Superior Mechanical Engineering: Dual-lead screw design ensures stable, accurate, and smooth manipulation with minimal backlash, preventing drift during delicate procedures.
• Temperature-Resistant Performance: Maintains accuracy and flexibility across variable laboratory temperatures.
• Enhanced Stability Features: Incorporates a unique anti-clockwise UP mark on knobs to prevent incorrect operation, while separate vertical lock and fixing knobs ensure accurate function at any angle.
• Optimized Visual Interface: Laser-engraved scales with darkened rod against the open U-shape frame improve readability and reduce eye strain during extended procedures.

Technical Specifications:

• Digital Resolution: 10μm (0.01mm) in all three axes

• Display Type: LCD, real-time coordinate display

• Working Distance: 80mm in all axes (anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, dorsal-ventral)

• Vertical Rotation: 180° with locking at any angle

• Horizontal Rotation: 360° with locking at any angle

• Base Plate Dimensions: 400mm × 255mm, accommodating various animal sizes

• Power Source: AA batteries (eliminates electronic interference)

• Frame-to-Knob Distance: 28mm for optimal lateral rotation space

Standard Configuration Includes:

• 68861N base plate

• 68409 3-axis digital manipulator (left)
