NSK Ltd. today announced it has developed a micro-manipulation system that facilitates the handling of microscopic items. With the ability to manipulate items as small as a single cell, the new system can be used in a variety of medical science and biotechnology applications. Nanotechnologists will also find the system useful in assembling microscopic tools.
With a proprietary piezoelectric actuator that makes it easy to operate, the system features a three-axis (XYZ) positioning stage that facilitates the attachment of measuring devices, micromanipulators and microscopes for examining a preparation.
In developing the system NSK was supported by extensive in-house expertise in integrated mechatronics and precision positioning drive technology
