MX series

The MX-1* originally was developed for use in patch clamp work, featuring drift-free stability to keep patch probes fixed in the same position over an extended period.  A built-in rotating mechanism allows quick and simple replacement of microelectrodes.  Featuring the same basic design as the MX-1, the MX-2 is mounted on a convenient tilting stand (TM-1) with a magnetic base.
