A High-quality Probe Station for Our Cost Conscious Customers

While we offer the industry’s widest range of probe stations such as our patented 2210-LS Application Board Probe Station and our P200L (200mm) Semiautomatic, we also have a great selection of economical general-purpose manual models.  These reliable stations are an excellent choice for those on a budget and offer the same type of performance we have built our reputation on.   

If you are looking for a probe station with a low purchase price and a low cost of ownership, may we suggest our 450PM (150–200mm) Manual Analytical 8” model?  It is suitable for many types of applications and is designed for system users who do not require low current capability or the precise positioning of our 4000 and 8000 series.  In addition the 450PM has many accessory options available and is hot chuck compatible (field upgradeable). 

Its design is based on our popular 4060 model and offers users a reliable, stable probing performance and extensive application coverage.  With all of the 450’s flexible options, it has quickly become the probe station of choice for cost conscious labs worldwide.  The 450 features manual lead screw control of the stage that offers stable, quick positioning as well as an ergonomic, compact design for ease of use.  Micromanipulator’s economical 450PM-MW (150-200mm) is designed for users who require a compound microscope. The 450PM-HR features the high stability of the 4060/8000 series microscope bridge structure and supports high resolution microscopes.  

We encourage you to take a look at our website to see the complete specifications and details regarding this popular design.  Micromanipulator offers a broad range of probe stations for almost any testing application and we are always working on developing new products.  Also be sure to check out our excellent selection of accessories and consumables.
