Mounting the KITE Manipulator
When the KITE is mounted on an an M-3 tilting base with the steel weight and tilted at 45°, the average maximum practical height from the tabletop to the center of the pivot point on the manipulator is approximately 20cm.

Features
Vernier scales allow readings to 0.1 mm. X-axis fine control allows readings to 10 µm. Left- or right-handed versions of the KITE micromanipulator are supplied with a standard 12 mm clamp and electrode holder M3301EH.
Mounting Screws
The KITE mounts with two screws as shown in the image below.
The following images show various setups for microinjection. Keep in mind that parts are interchangeable. For example:
- M10 or the M9 magnetic base could be used.
- PZMIV microscope could be used instead of the PZMIII.
- M3301 or the KITE micromanipulators can be used, and these micromanipulators can be placed on either side. (Keep in mind, though, If you wanted to use a KITE on the right side of the setup below, you would order a KITE-R (right hand), or if you want an M3301 on the left side, you would order an M3301.)
- 5479 or 5052 magnetic bases are virtually interchangeable.
- One or two Nanoliters, one or two UMPIII systems, or one Nanoliter and one UMPIII may be used, as desired.
