Summary

A micromanipulator is described which has been specially designed to meet the requirements of chemical work on the microgram scale. The instrument carries a micropipette controlled by a micrometer syringe, and manipulates this in relation to the vessels, which are carried on the rotating mechanical stage of a low-power microscope.

Zusammenfassung

Ein Mikromanipulator für die speziellen Bedürfnisse der chemischen Untersuchung von Gammamengen wird beschrieben. Das Instrument trägt eine Mikropipette, die mit Hilfe einer Mikrometer-Injektionsbürette kontrolliert wird. Diese Pipette wird mittels des Manipulators in die Reaktionsgefäße eingeführt, die auf dem drehbaren Tisch eines Mikroskopes mit schwacher Vergrößerung angebracht werden.

Résumé

On décrit un micromanipulateur spécialement destiné à faire face aux besoins du travail chimique à l'échelle du microgramme. L'instrument porte une micropipette controlée par une seringue micrométrique et actionne celle-ci par rapport aux vases qui sont portés par la plateforme tournant mécaniquement d'un microscope de faible puissance.
