A Three-Axis Micro-Positioning Machine for Cinemicrography of Living Tissues

Nydia L. Meyers, Charles L. Schneider

An animal table actuated by a high precision multiple hydraulic servo mechanism, which eliminates all rack-and-pinion movements, was built for field searching and focusing under the microscope. Thus, the specimen carrier serves as its own mechanical stage with the laboratory animal, accessory supports and optional remote control micromanipulators. The machine can move in 0.3-μm increments or by continuous feed. Vibration damping elements isolate the specimen and microscope from the camera and environment.
