Micromanipulators are precision instruments used in laboratories to manipulate small objects, such as cells or tiny components, with great accuracy. They allow researchers to perform delicate tasks, like inserting a needle into a cell or positioning small parts in microelectronics. These devices are essential in fields like biotechnology, neuroscience, and materials science. Typically, micromanipulators consist of a series of mechanical arms controlled by fine adjustments, often operated manually or through computer interfaces. They can be equipped with various tools, such as glass pipettes or electrodes, to facilitate specific tasks. Their ability to handle minute scales makes them invaluable in scientific research and development.
