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

Application example

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.

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.
