High-precision stepping motor

The high-precision stepper motor stably outputs a minimum step angle of 0.04, which is a minimum displacement of 0.33μm, ensuring the accuracy requirement of 1μm. A high-precision projector is used to detect the accuracy of the motor to meet
the needs of higher-precision experiments.

Anti-backlash function

Eliminate the gap error caused by the movement of the screw rod and achieve higher positioning accuracy.

Frame calibration

Quickly calibrate three-axis coordinate values, users can calibrate by themselves.

Constant Speed

The AP or ML axis has 5 adjustable speeds, the DV axis has 9 adjustable speeds, and the lowest speed in the DV direction can reach 1μm/s.
Reduce jitter at a uniform speed to ensure precise positioning. Reduce mechanical damage. Prevent massive bleeding from affecting surgery.

Built-in Atlas

The software integrates the rat and mouse brain atlas, which can display the movement trajectory and position of the probe in real time and keep track of the experimental progress.

No Leveling Required

By determining four points to determine the skull tilt angle, accurate positioning can be achieved without leveling through angle calculation.
(Bregma, Lambda, 2mm left and right of the sagittal suture) At the same time, the brain atlas can be scaled according to the actual skull
size, making the positioning more accurate.

Automated Injection

Tilted Trajectory: Manipulator Tilted Function

Traditional positioning methods require manual calculation of the three-axis displacement distance after tilting when performing experiments such as tilt injection or implantation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The Automated Stereotaxic Instrument includes a tilted trajectory function, eliminating the need to manually calculate the displacement distance after tilting. It can be used for experiments such as tilted craniotomy, tilted injection and tilted implantation.

Optional Dual Manipulators

It can realize experiments such as injection and implantation of bilateral brain areas of the same animal, which is more efficient.

Automated Craniotomy: Skull Windows Function

You can choose a round or square window, which is suitable for brain imaging scenarios, such as miniscope calcium imaging experiments, two-photon imaging or other brain imaging experiments before craniotomy.

Tissue Removal

Equipped with a tissue removal kit, it is used to remove tissue before implanting the GRIN Lens. It is suitable for miniscope calcium imaging experiments. Compared with manual tissue aspiration, fully automated aspiration ensures flat wound end surfaces, less additional neuronal damage, and better imaging as compared to manual tissue removal.
