MM3A nanomanipulators and plugin tools
One of the most fascinating experiments in recent nanotechnology research is the precise manipulation of nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and other specimens at nano-scale. Kleindiek’s  versatile and easy-to-use nanomanipulor tools can transform your microscope from an observational instrument into a hands-on tool.
At the heart of nanomanipulation is the market-leading Kleindiek MM3A-EM micromanipulator. The new encoded version MM3E joins the range to give repeateable precision. The MM3A-EM and MM3E are used in a wide spectrum of SEM, FIB and other microscope applications by adding new capabilities and functionality to your instrument.

Plug-in tools for MM3A-EM and MM3E micromanipulators
The functionality of MM3A-EM and MM3E nanomanipulators can be greatly expanded by the addition of a range of plug-in tools for different applications. They can be quickly and easily exchanged using a push /pull fit. The RoTip rotational tip can be combined with other plug-in tools to give additional movement and positioning.
