3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 General
3.1.1 Moving the Micropipette with the Joystick
Once the micromanipulator has been installed correctly, the micropipette should follow the
movement of the joystick. The higher the number on the range control, the smaller the
movement will be for any given deflection of the joystick. When in range settings '2' through
'5', the micropipette will follow the movements of the joystick without any delay. Settings 'C'
and '1' are for coarse positioning only and should not be used for precision
micromanipulation.
3.1.2 Centering the Micropipette with Respect to the Joystick
The Declutch mechanism is used to re-center the joystick with respect to the micropipette
tip. This is useful when the micropipette is at the very edge of the microscope field of view
but the joystick is centered, or when the micropipette is in the center of the field of view, but
the joystick is at the edge of its travel. To center or reposition the joystick without affecting
the micropipette, simply touch the declutch ring/band just above the rubber grip as shown in
the figure. To re-establish movement, remove your finger from the touch-sensitive band. A
red LED lights on top of the joystick whenever the Declutch function is activated.
