Precise Micron-Scale Positioning with the Ossila Micromanipulator
Save on a pair for intuitive manual control in advanced applications
Overview | Specifications | Features | Gallery | In the Box | Accessories | Resources and Support
Make your small-scale experiments more reliable and your workflows more intuitive with the Ossila Micromanipulator. Confidently control manual positioning processes thanks to the precision linear bearings engineered to ensure smooth, repeatable motion with minimal backlash or drift. For the most sensitive experiments, you can achieve a positioning resolution as low as 2 μm with the fine-pitch micrometer upgrade.
Designed with comfort and focus at the forefront, you can easily position the probe without looking away from your microscope. Make intuitive probe adjustments along a 6.5 mm graduated travel distance with micrometer heads which are aligned to each axis of motion. Plus, the magnetic base and compact build mean you can use multiple micromanipulators in busy setups.
To get you up and running, save when you buy a pair of right- and left-handed micromanipulators. For semiconductor devices, we recommend the Ossila Source Measure Unit to complete your electrical characterization setup.

Micromanipulator Features
Precise and Reliable Positioning
Confidently control manual probing in your experiments with smooth, repeatable movement on every axis. A precision linear bearing with spring-loading eliminates backlash while high-quality micrometers achieve positioning resolution as low as 2 μm along a 10 mm travel distance.
DC Current Probing
Designed to support your most sensitive electrical tests, the low leakage current and path resistance is ideal for DC measurements on semiconductor devices. The SMA connector makes setup quick, while the secured coaxial cable prevents vibration and electronic noise from disrupting your results.
Adapt to Your Experiments
Ideal for labs that demand versatility, take advantage of excellent positioning accuracy in other applications. Swap the DC probe for a wide range of probes, syringes, micropipettes, vacuum needles, optical fibers, and more.
Comfortable and Intuitive Control
Stay focused on your microscope. The micrometer controls are aligned with each axis making blind control easy and intuitive. Plus, our micromanipulators pair easily with the Ossila Probe Station to complete your probing setup.
