The module unit can be mounted at the left or right on any commonly used microscopes by way
of an adapter.
The module unit is composed of a motor unit for Y and Z axis movement (Y/Z module) and the
motor unit for X axis movement. The height of the X axis is adjusted by way of the straight-line
guide. The pipetting angle is set manually by way of the X head with the angle graduations.
On the X module is the tool mount for the probe holder, the X head. Tools with a diameter, or
width, of 4 mm and weighing max. 100 g can be inserted, e.g. capillary holders for cell transfer.
