The HEKA MIM 4 micromanipulator enables an accurate and secure positioning of your micro tools and a simultaneous monitoring of the microscope image on the computer screen. With the visual control of the configuration of the experiment, mechanical distortions can easily be discovered. A new dimension of documentation of the experimental data is achieved by recording of the morphology simultaneously. The HEKA MIM 4 is more than a micromanipulator. With its video option it goes one step further than all other manipulators on the market. The MIM 4 is also available as a double micromanipulator mounted on both sides of a microscope and controlled with a single computer.

Although the MIM 4 is the ideal accessory of a HEKA EPC based patch clamp setup, it can be combined with any other system. price list | manual POS | manual MIM 4 | prospectus | home
