Like the classic Lab Standard™, the NEW Standard Stereotaxic Instrument has larger laser engraved vernier scales (accurate to 100 um), 80 mm of ventral-dorsal, medial-lateral and anterior-posterior travel, absolute lock at 90° ventral-dorsal and brass-bushings for electrical grounding. It is available as a digital or motorized model.

But the NEW Standard "design" is what sets it apart:

• Revolutionary vertically-adjusting ear and nose bar posts
• Revolutionary horizontally-adjusting ear and nose bar posts
• Designed for both Rats and Mice all on the same base
• No U-frame, maximizes operating space
• Traditional and non-traumatic Rat ear bars
• Includes the innovative Mouse ear bars
• Includes Mouse and Rat Nose adaptors

Includes the innovative Mouse ear bars

Includes Mouse and Rat nose adaptor



Includes dual tip ear bars with traumatic (18°) and non-traumatic (45°) ear bars

Close-Up of The New Standard Stereotaxic

Motorized

Designed to adapt conventional stereotaxic systems, the StereoDrive software allows motorized, computer controlled stereotaxic positioning in all 3 orthogonal axes.

Integrated with Paxinos and Watson’s Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, for either rat or mouse, the intuitive movement control enables unprecedented accuracy and higher throughput in all stereotaxic applications.

Features:

 Digital Atlas integration

• Frame representation
• Calibration of frame coordinates
• Setting of logical coordinate system (Bregma)
• Coordinates and Atlas visualization of the probe
• Advanced 3D visualization options
• Spatial Atlas representation
• Intuitive probe control
• Intuitive navigation

Motorized StereoDrive Software
Included with Motorized Stereotaxics

Axis StereoDrive Software integrates seamlessly with the precision controlled motors. Motor movement can be executed by using the keyboard arrow keys or clicking on the screen with the mouse.

The software coordinates motor movement of all 3 axes (anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and dorsal-ventral) probe placement in relation to 3-dimensional visual representation of a rat (Paxinos & Watson, 6th Edition) or mouse (Watson, 3rd edition) Brain Atlas.

Features

• Easy calibration
• Software-driven control of stereotaxic movement
• Virtual visualization of probe location
• One micron resolution
• Download coordinates to computer for recall and/or archiving
• Angle adjustments
• Variable speed on 2-axis (dorsal-ventral)

Integrated with Paxinos and Watson’s Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, the intuitive movement control enables unprecedented accuracy and higher throughput in all stereotaxic applications

Image manipulations include:

• Spatial Rotation
• Fixed Rotation
• Zooming
• Panning
