Introduction
The Conduct Science Stereotaxic instrument uses landmarks on the surface of the animal’s skull (such as the Bregma ) as basic reference points and determines the position of a neural structure (brain region) through the directional movement of a three-dimensional manipulator arm. The device can then be used to perform injections, stimulations, impairment, guided positioning and other operations on the specific brain region . This device can also be used in conjunction with optogenetics, two-photon, endogenous brain imaging, fiber optic recording, electrophysiology and other systems.

According to the suggestions of many experts in the field of neuroscience research at home and abroad and referring to the performance characteristics of many similar products abroad, our large animal positioning instrument adopts self-developed patented technology, which has the advantages of smooth movement, precise positioning, solid and stable, and comfortable feel, which are mainly reflected in:
- The dual-track Y-axis operating arm moves (or the X/Z-axis operating arm moves in the Y-axis direction) using the rolling principle, which is similar to the train wheels rolling forward on the rails, reducing the friction between the two, and thus reducing the friction between metal parts. Rapid wear caused by direct friction between them keeps the performance stable for a long time and extends the service life. At the same time, the operation is labor-saving and the hand feels comfortable;
- Head fixation: It adopts the combination of ear canal insertion, maxillary support and eye socket compression. It has significant innovative technology: (1) The ear rod uses a screw rod to advance or retreat, and the movement is smooth and the speed is controllable to reach the appropriate position. The last step is enough to lock it, and there is no need to repeatedly do the action of "loosen the screw - push/pull the ear rod - tighten the screw"; (2) Multi-dimensional position adjustment of the maxillary support and eye socket fixation block, double rod guide Both horizontal and vertical position adjustments adopt a synchronous forward or backward rolling structure, making the operation easy, labor-saving and efficient;
- The design of the X/Z-axis cross operating arm follows the structure of the small animal locator (see the introduction of the small animal locator for details), and has the advantages of easy and stable operation, strong and durable;
- The Y-axis manipulator adds a displacement sensing sensor to improve the accuracy by 10 times, that is, 0.01 mm.
