Takanome Micromanipulator
Takanome is the Japanese metaphor for a hawk locking on to its target. This aptly describes the new micro-manipulation system from Narishige that allows users to lock manipulators into position and easily adjust the approach angle while always keeping the pipette tip in view.

Easy Pipette Attachment
The injection holder features an anchor that secures to the driver body, allowing consistent positioning of the pipette tip. This enables quick, precise pipette replacement with stable, repeatable alignment.
Centered Angle Pipette Adjustment
The pipette tip is designed for staying at the optical axis against any angles. So angle adjustment is hard to miss the tip in the field of view.
Simple Home to Working Position
50mm retracting margin enables easy exchange of a pipette. Breakage of pipettes is greatly reduced during the replacement.
