Manual Micromanipulator for Precise Probing at the Micron Scale

Compact, intuitive, and ergonomic controls for accurate device probing

Overview | Specifications | Features | Gallery | In the Box

Implement precise probing in your small-scale electronics experiments with our manual micromanipulator (also known as a micropositioner). Adjust probe positioning with 10 mm travel on three axes along precision linear bearings and with intuitive micrometer controls that achieve micron-level accuracy and repeatability without backlash or drift. 

Control the probe without looking away from your microscope. Secured to the probe station by a magnetic base, the ergonomic design aligns the micrometer heads with each axis of motion for intuitive positioning. With the narrow probe shank and long, compact arm, you can use multiple micromanipulators simultaneously in tight spaces.

Our micromanipulators are available as left- and right-handed systems. If your experimental requirements change, you can easily switch between the two configurations. For ultimate positioning control, purchase the micromanipulators in a pair. When working with semiconductor devices, we recommend the Ossila Source Measure Unit to complete your characterization setup.

Micromanipulator Features

Precise and Reliable Construction

The micromanipulator is constructed from precisely-machined aluminium. Each axis of motion incorporates a precision linear bearing and spring-loading for smooth, repeatable, and reliable motion, without backlash and ensure reliable motion. High-quality micrometers are accurate to 10 μm along a 10 mm travel distance.

DC Current Probing

The low leakage current and path resistance make our probe ideal for DC currents on semiconductor devices. The SMA connector allows easy characterization while the coaxial cable is secured to prevent vibration and electronic noise from interfering with the measurement. Plus, the spring-loaded tungsten tip is simple to replace.

Wide Applications

Alongside sensitive I-V and C-V probing of semiconductor devices, take advantage of the micromanipulator's excellent positioning accuracy in other applications. The M4 thumbscrew allows you to replace the DC probe with a wide range of probes, syringes, micropipettes, vacuum needles, optical fibers, and more.

Compact, Ergonomic Design

The distinctive design stands out on any probe station but remains compact and versatile. The accurate micrometer controls are aligned with each axis of motion for intuitive blind control. Plus you can easily switch between a right- and left-handed configuration depending on the needs of your experimental setup.
