Designed expressly for physiological research, Nikon's Physiostation body features a focusing nosepiece and provides maximum accessibility from all angles for patch clamp experiments. Its design incorporates many features to ensure vibration-free operation, while providing the rigidity necessary to meet the specific requirements of micromanipulation. This standard Nikon mechanical stage with extension plates attaches to the rigid E600 body to ensure the stage is resistant to any vibration. Four rigid support pillars mount it solidly to the microscope body.

Auxiliary side plates, drilled and tapped (M6 thread) with 32 holes each, make it easy to attach manipulators. The stage and side plate surfaces are made of magnetised stainless steel for use with magnetic base mounted accessories. The XY travel control, conveniently located at the front left-hand side, moves the stage-mounted manipulators and specimen together. The auxiliary side plates can be removed if a compact size stage area is desired.
