The M3301 is a popular Manual Micromanipulator, because it is accurate, lightweight and well-engineered. This solid manipulator outsells all others worldwide for high precision experiments where magnification is in the range of up to 250x.
Weighing just 550g, it has a slim, space-saving design. Units can stand tightly grouped, since all control knobs project to the rear. Because the control knobs are clustered within an 8 cm area in a single vertical plane, resolution is quick. The hand works blindly while the eye monitors the microscopic image. Vernier scales allow readings to 0.1 mm. X-axis fine control allows readings to 10μm.
The rack-and-pinion drive, V-shaped guideways and cross roller bearings ensure smooth movement that is sure and repeatable, without drift, side play, backlash or sticking. Contact parts are milled of hardened steel for high performance and long life.

Benefits
- Easy access controls. All control knobs are clustered in an 8 cm area in a single vertical plane for quick resolution, allowing you to focus and easily manipulate the controls without looking away from the microscope.
- Lightweight and portable, requiring little bench space
- Flexible mounting options. Use a tilt base, a ring clamp, or mount directly to air table.
- Smooth, repeatable movements. Rack-and-pinion drive, V-shaped guideways and cross roller bearings ensure smooth movement without drift, side play, backlash or sticking.
- Long life. Hardened steel components ensure high performance for the long haul.
Applications
- Microinjection
- Electrophysiology recording
Important Notes

Vernier scales allow readings to 0.1 mm. X-axis fine control allows readings to 10μm.
The instrument employs rack-and-pinion drive, V-shaped guideways and cross roller bearings, so all movement is sure and repeatable, without drift, side play, backlash or sticking. Contact parts are milled of hardened steel for high performance and long life.

With the M-3 magnetic stand, the M3301-M3 base is 1.25" tall.
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.
