Multiple functions for making different kinds of microtools.

Reflecting Narishige's long practical experience, the MF-900 offers a wide range of functions for making many different kinds of microtools by processing microneedle tips. An easyto-use manipulator is provided for operating the heater and pipette, and the microscope is operated three-dimensionally with control close to the operator's hand. Separate rotation mechanisms for vertical and horizontal movement allow the pipette to be approached at any angle, while a special device in the heater section can form it into any required shape. As well as conventional scales, a protractor to measure angles is provided on the microscope eyepiece. With the heater turned ON/OFF via a foot switch, and the heater section integrated into the microscope body, all control actions are performed easily and precisely close to the operator's hand.
