Manual Micromanipulator for Precise Probing at the Micron Scale
Save with our pair discount for intuitive positioning control in advanced applications
Overview | Specifications | Features | Gallery | In the Box | Accessories | Resources and Support
Implement precise probing in your small-scale electronics experiments with our manual micromanipulator. Adjust probe positioning with 10 mm travel on three axes along precision linear bearings with intuitive micrometer controls. 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. 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, and for ultimate positioning control, you can purchase the micromanipulators in a pair. If your experimental requirements change, you can easily switch between the two configurations. When working with semiconductor devices, we recommend the Ossila Source Measure Unit to complete your characterization setup.

Micromanipulator Features
Precise and Reliable Construction
Each axis of motion incorporates a precision linear bearing and spring-loading for smooth, repeatable, and reliable motion without backlash. Our 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.
Wide Applications
Alongside sensitive I-V and C-V probing of semiconductor devices, take advantage of excellent positioning accuracy in other applications. Replace the DC probe with a wide range of probes, syringes, micropipettes, vacuum needles, optical fibers, and more.
Compact, Ergonomic Design
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.
