3-Channel Single Electrode System
The multielectrode manipulator “Mini Matrix” was developed by Thomas RECORDING in 1998. This microdrive system is based on our patented rubber tube drive also used in our multielectrode manipulator “System Eckhorn”.
The small and lightweight multielectrode manipulator “Mini Matrix” was designed to be mounted directly on a monkey head but also can be used with stereotaxic instruments available from Thomas RECORDING.
The 3-Channel Single Electrode System can use up to 3 single microelectrodes at the same time.
Key features:
Axial resolution better than 1μm, x-y-z-Positioning with xyz-manipulator and special holder
Patented rubber-tube drive, no hysteresis, slick or free motion due to patented rubber tube drive (avoids drawbacks of cable, direct or hydraulic driven systems)
Electrode travel range up to 24.000μm
Variable speed range from 0…250μm/s, higher velocity on request
Small and lightweight
No electrode connection cables free in air! Complete metal shield around all microelectrodes
Suitable for cortical and deep brain recordings
Very close electrode spacing available (down to 80μm)
Different electrode arrangements available (linear, concentric, etc.)
Stable long-term recordings with thin microelectrodes for hours
Integrated low noise preamplifier

12-Channel Tetrode System
