For those who wish to use the MP-285 or MP-225 manipulator in conjunction with

An inverted microscope, Sutter Instrument has designed a series of Microscope

Dependent (MD) stands.

The typical MD stand is a manipulator platform that bolts directly to the frame of

an inverted microscope. Stands are available in either single-sided or double-sided

versions for the most common inverted microscopes made by Nikon, Olympus,

Leica, and Zeiss. These platforms lend themselves to the absolutely drift-free

Recording configuration required when using the manipulators to position patch-

Electrodes to record from attached cells in culture.
