Model 1730 Intracellular Frame Assembly

Model 1730 Intracellular Frame Assembly is designed primarily for intracellular recording and stimulation where high inertia, precision and clear access to the head during surgery are paramount.
Cell penetration without surrounding damage demands the utmost in technique. This instrument has the mass and rigidity necessary for use with ultra-fine micro manipulators or micropositioners. Designed specifically for use with the Kopf 1760 series Micro Manipulators. Manipulator product specifications and options are located here.

A/P Bar(s) – 21.65 mm square
A/P Bar length – 30.50 cm
A/P Bar calibration – 100 mm each side of zero (ear bar centerline)
Frame Bar centerline distance – 17.78 cm
A/P zero to posterior end of bar -12.08 cm
Ear Bar Locator position – A/P zero

Model 1730 Frame Assembly including one set of ear bar locators is fixed to an ultra-heavy Model 1725 Universal Clamp which is mounted on a 1″ diameter Stand Post. Outboard ends of the
A/P bars are mounted on 12.7 mm diameter
Model 1735 Vertical Outboard Posts, which are secured at the ends with a tie bar to stop any vibration.

Model 1745 Cat / Monkey Adaptor locates the animal firmly and accurately by means of tapered ear bars which fit into the external auditory meatus. Adjustable infra-orbital clamps and a vertically adjustable palate bar prevent rotation of the skull.

Eye Bar A/P adjustment – 20.5 mm
