Design and Application of a Microscope Mounted Manual Micromanipulation Device

Abstract

This report describes the design and application of a custom designed and fabricated 3-axis micromanipulation device capable of being mounted on a Nikon Ti2 microscope base, standard to contemporary Nikon confocal systems. This device enables micromanipulation of a variety of probe units for an assortment of unspecified tasks with a rapidly achievable manual spatial resolution near 10 m. A demonstration of the device is included in the report describing micromanipulation of a working electrode in context of a barnacle epicuticle electrochemical observation
