Intravital Microscopy
When small laboratory animals such as mice etc. need to be
microscopically studied, several prerequisites must be met. Next to suitable
optics capable of saline immersion, a large work surface is needed to
support the specimen as well as tools,perfusion equipment, etc.
Applications
Study of capillaries/microcirculation.
AX70 --- the obvious choice.
The AX70 is ideal for mounting a large 6" stage, suitable for
support of large specimens.
An extra-wide stage -- ideal for
experiments and observation of
small animals.
An extra-large 6'' stage offers the ideal
design for examining mice and other
large specimens. The AX70 also has
enough space between the stage
surface and arm to easily
accommodate large and thick
specimens.
Improved operational ease for
enhanced manipulation.
The revolutionary Y-shape of the AX70
frame offers unique user benefits. It
not only allows the operator's forearms
to be supported by the worktable or
bench surface, but also provides more
working space. As a result,
micromanipulators can be
conveniently mounted. A multi-control
box can also be mounted for easy
system upgrades along with other
peripheral equipment. The unique
design allows arms and wrists to
remain on the work surface while
manipulating controls. Thus, efficient
observation with less fatigue, even
over prolonged periods, is possible.
