The Leica mechanical micromanipulator: the superior precision fine mechanics tool, developed and optimized over more than 40 years.
It has proved to be extremely successful in all branches of medicine and biology where micro surgical, physiological or chemical operations have to be performed on living organisms like oocytes, adherent cells or plant cells. Typical applications are microinjection in adherent cells,transgenics, IVF, ICSI, the work with stem cells.
Furthermore they are useful and have been proved in the assembly of microelectronic parts that can only be observed through the microscope.
