Description
The redesigned XenoWorks joystick offers an unprecedented level of user comfort during operation. The controller circuitry is fully integrated into the joystick, fanless and completely silent. The use of an inverted, height- and tension-adjustable joystick, in conjunction with the functionally shaped base, allows the operator to rest their hands and forearms on the bench surface, providing ease of use and added ergonomics. The function keys and declutch band can be located and activated by touch, removing the need to look away from the microscope. Additional time-saving features are the user-defined Home position, two user-defined Work positions, and the Setup function, which centers the manipulator in all three axes.
The newly introduced Diagonal mode enables motion in the axis of the pipette. Combining diagonal mode with the new Pulse motion facilitates penetrating specimens with a resilient membrane, cuticle or chorion. To eliminate guesswork, the status of all functions and motions is shown in the convenient LED display.
Lock functions for both the X and Y axes allow restricting movement to only two dimensions for maximum control during injections. The Z-Floor memory position is used to prevent the pipette from colliding with the bottom of the dish, while the equivalent function for the X axis is useful for repetitive injections into a parallel row of eggs.
The XenoWorks joystick is designed to allow the user to immediately develop an intuitive feel that makes it easy to precisely control the position. Movement of the joystick is directly converted to a proportional movement of the manipulator. Speed control, center of travel, and programmable positions are right at your fingertips. One unique feature of the joystick is the declutch band that allows for easy repositioning of the joystick without moving the pipette. The declutch band is also used as a modifier key, which gives individual buttons additional functions. Combining this advanced joystick with the proven Sutter manipulator technology creates an ideal system for efficient microinjection.
