MD Series
We've designed a series of Microscope Dependent (MD) stands for those who wish to use a Sutter Instrument manipulator in conjunction with an inverted microscope.
The typical MD stand is a manipulator platform that bolts directly to the frame of an inverted microscope. Stands are available in either single-sided or double-sided versions for the most common inverted microscopes made by Nikon, Olympus, Leica, and Zeiss. These platforms lend themselves to the absolutely drift-free recording configuration required when using the manipulators to position patch-electrodes to record from attached cells in culture.
To mount the MP-285 to an MD stand you also need either the X285210 mounting adapter plate (for orthogonal mounting) or the 285RBI rotating base that allows for non-orthogonal mounting and rotation of the entire manipulator (note: the X285210 mounting plate is included with each MP-285 and MP-225). New mounting options and adapters for new microscopes are being added frequently.

MD Series
International prices vary by country. Please contact your local distributor or Sutter Instrument for a quotation.
MD part numbers have top plates with an imperial hole pattern (¼-20 on 1 in centers) and our MDM part numbers indicate a metric hole pattern (M6 tapped holes on 25 mm centers). The last digit of the MD and MDM part number identifies a single-sided universal platform (-1), single-sided positional (-1L, -1R), or a double-sided platform (-2). If you do not see a metric top plate for your microscope, please phone Sutter as it may be available.
