Precise Micron-Scale Positioning with the Ossila Micromanipulator
Save on a pair for intuitive manual control in advanced applications
Overview | Specifications | Features | Gallery | In the Box | Accessories | Resources and Support
Make your small-scale experiments more reliable and your workflows more intuitive with the Ossila Micromanipulator. Confidently control manual positioning processes thanks to the precision linear bearings engineered to ensure smooth, repeatable motion with minimal backlash or drift. For the most sensitive experiments, you can achieve a positioning resolution as low as 2 μm with the fine-pitch micrometer upgrade.
Designed with comfort and focus at the forefront, you can easily position the probe without looking away from your microscope. Make intuitive probe adjustments along a 6.5 mm graduated travel distance with micrometer heads which are aligned to each axis of motion. Plus, the magnetic base and compact build mean you can use multiple micromanipulators in busy setups.
To get you up and running, save when you buy a pair of right- and left-handed micromanipulators. For semiconductor devices, we recommend the Ossila Source Measure Unit to complete your electrical characterization setup.

Micromanipulator Features
Precise and Reliable Positioning
Position your probe with confidence for reliable probing in your experiments. Adjust the probe to a resolution as low as 2 μm and experience smooth, repeatable movement along the precision linear bearings on each axis. The spring-loaded bearings eliminate backlash so you can get accurate measurements in your sensitive experiments.
Comfortable and Intuitive Control
Stay focused on your microscope with blind probe control. For each direction of movement, the micrometer controls are aligned with the corresponding axis so you can intuitively make adjustments. Plus, Ossila micromanipulators are designed to pair seamlessly with the Ossila Probe Station to complete your probing setup.
DC Current Probing
Get accurate measurements in your sensitive electrical tests with a low leakage current and path resistance.
The micromanipulator is designed to perform in DC semiconductor measurements. Set up quickly using the SMA connector and prevent vibration or noise from disrupting your results with the secured coaxial cable.
Adapt to Your Experiments
Swap the tungsten probe for a wide range of probes, syringes, micropipettes, vacuum needles, optical fibers, and more. The Ossila Micromanipulator is designed for labs that demand versatility so you can take advantage of excellent positioning accuracy whatever your application or experimental requirements.
