Full Sample Access Even for Complex Setups
Experimental workstations for upright electrophysiology typically involve complex setups for demanding micromanipulation. Access to the specimen space is one of the most important requirements. Large fixed stages offer the possibility of adjusting the microscope appropriately during an ongoing experiment – without disturbing the sensitive experimental setup.

Experimental Flexibility and Contrasting Options
Experiments involving manipulation of the specimen being observed place extreme demands on the objective geometry. Even for a high numerical aperture, a long working distance is required in order to be able to manipulate capillary pipettes. Also, a wide spectrum of contrasting options is required. Optimally integrated and selectively applicable, a perfect adaption of the contrast to the respective specimen can be ensured.
