About the Innovation

The Tip-Tilt-Z Sample Positioner provides automated rotation of a head-fixed rodent specimen about the anterior-posterior and mediolateral axes for imaging or other purposes. The device also provides automated Z translation and can be customized to accommodate various head bar designs.

Rotation range, each axis: +/-10 deg

Z travel varies depending on the angular orientation of the sample:
minimum Z travel: +/- 8.5 mm
maximum Z travel: +/- 25mm

Precision actuators allow for micron-level repeatability.
