On a Budget? We Have the Probe Station for You






Just because a Micromanipulator probe station is one of our economy models, does not mean you will not get the kind of performance and reliability we have built a reputation on.  If you do not require low current capability, precise positioning and the additional features of our popular 4000 and 8000 series probe stations, the 450PM (150-200mm) Manual Analytical 8” probe station is a great choice.  It offers a low purchase price along with a low cost of ownership.  The 450 PM meets the needs of many applications and is hot chuck compatible (field upgradeable) with comprehensive accessory support.

There are many reasons the 450 PM is quickly becoming the probe station of choice for our cost conscience customers.  The model provides a stable, reliable probing performance and extensive application coverage as well as flexible options - all in a design that is based on our popular Model 4060.   

A few of the station’s highlights include manual lead screw control of the stage that helps to ensure its long life and stable, quick positioning.  An ergonomic, compact design that enhances the ease of use, while at the same time, increases stability and allows for an efficient use of lab space.  The model 450 PM-A offers lead screw control of platen.  Features such as the stereo zoom or compound microscope on the stable boom provides manual X-Y positioning with precise focus control.  Please see our website for the full details and specifications of this particular probe station along with all of our other models.

Also do not forget to shop for our exceptional line-up of consumables and accessories that are expertly designed, tested and manufactured to meet application requirements, budget demands and personal preferences.  We have a wide range of probe holders and tips, thermal chucks, manipulators, unique probe holders, vibration isolation tables, camera systems and more.

As early pioneers in the analytical probing field, we bring 60 years of experience to give customers state-of-the-art products that are expertly designed, engineered, manufactured and meticulously tested. In addition, our commitment to customers’ satisfaction includes “Full Life-Cycle Support” that starts from concept, to production, right through to maintenance.  Contact us to learn more about our exceptional line of probe stations and accessories.
