The Parallel Rail Animal Stereotaxic Instrument, manufactured by Stoelting, provides superior performance. Up to six manipulator arms may be conveniently positioned on the two parallel rails. Thus, several probes may be independently positioned in one animal.

Reliable Locks
If it is necessary to tilt the stereotaxic frame to gain access to the animal’s side or underside, the tilting and angling universal joint on Lab Standard™ manipulators have the most secure, reliable locks of any stereotaxic instrument.

Easily Read Scales
Precise, laser engraved graduations allow vernier scales to be aligned to 0.1 mm. The scales are oriented to enhance readability from common user positions. Standard manipulator arms have 100 micron resolution, while high-quality digital arms have a resolution of 10 microns.

Versatile
Other species adaptors, probe holders and ear bars manufactured by Stoelting may be used on the 51800 series of stereotaxic instruments allowing for a use with a  wide range of animals and procedures.
