Micromanipulator - A Worldwide Presence



At Micromanipulator we design and manufacture products that range from high performance programmable, semi-automatic and manual probe stations to cost effective entry level systems. These high-quality products are used in applications such as new device test and characterization, to yield enhancement, application board level test, failure analysis and Wafer Level Reliability (WLR).  Our global reach now includes countries throughout Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America.

In 2013 we entered into a partnership agreement with Globetek for Sales and Service representation in India in order to meet the growing semiconductor market across the country.  The Globetek Company has a strong commitment to customer support and service that is compatible with Micromanipulator’s core values.

Also in 2013 we entered in a partnership with Testview Ltd. to provide our customers Sales and Service representation in Israel.  Testview has a strong technical background in Wafer Fab and Test and Assembly and delivers the same Micromanipulator level of support and service our customers have come to expect.  

Just last year, we began a partnership with HTT for Sales and Service representation in Central Europe, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.  HTT brings customers a full turn-key wafer probing solution that covers Micromanipulator’s probe station, tester development and software development with their experienced team of qualified engineers to provide support and service. 

On our website you will find contact information and links to our sales and support providers across the globe.  All of Micromanipulator’s global partners offer our Full Life-Cycle Support from concept to production, right through to maintenance.  Contact us to talk to one of our experienced engineers.

A Pioneer in the Semiconductor Industry





Right from the beginning, Micromanipulator has taken a leading role in the industry with cutting edge technologies and innovations and we have always measured our success by that of our customers.  It was in 1956 when we first invented analytical probing, and since then, have increased our global presence with a substantial product installation base. 

Throughout the years, we evolved with the industry such as the development of high resolution lead screw, lead nut designs that deliver the best positioning resolution on the market today.  In addition we have seen the vast advancement in microscope magnifications of a few hundred times to today’s tools that support more than 2,000X magnification levels. 

Micromanipulator’s state-of-the-art technologies helped us to pioneer the integration of thermal chucks with probe stations.  This has allowed us to offer customers the broadest temperature range available as well as the best non-operator dependent performance. 

Furthermore, when we say we measure our success on that of our customers, we mean it!  We have been learning along with our clients for close to 60 years.  Our unique approach to customer satisfaction includes a worldwide network of service support engineers that provide full system support from optics to thermal chucks.  To ensure your investment is protected, we offer extended warranties, preventative maintenance programs, and upgrade paths for current or obsolete tools.  We use our extensive experience to constantly improve upon our products and to invent new ones. 


Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing but we are the leading name in the field. We reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on. Part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to our customers’ satisfaction.

High-tech Probe Holders





Along with Micromanipulator’s comprehensive selection of probe stations, we also design, test and manufacture an exceptional line-up of consumable accessories.  You will find our wide range of probe holders is appropriate for almost any test requirement.  Engineered to meet measurement equipment interface requirements, application and budget demands as well as personal preferences, our probe holders come with pin jack, spring load, or set screw tip insertion.

If you prefer a probe holder with a probe tip built in, you can find one at Micromanipulator.  Our Model 44 is a good example of a probe holder and tip in a single unit and is ideal for high frequency, low level signal testing or cutting.  Not only is it an economical choice, but by offering so many options, it is almost a custom probe.   Model 44 has a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz and is an excellent choice for the most common microwave tests. 

You will find Kelvin versions available in the Model 44 along with a choice of single tip and two tip varieties.  The holder also comes with a small access hole in the bottom of the body in order to connect a small chip resistor that can be installed in series or parallel, attenuating or terminating. 

Some of our other probe holders include the Model 72, which has a general purpose DC measurement and bias, and is bendable to accommodate custom setup needs.  This model is perfect for use with probe cards or application boards.  The Model 75 is both a general purpose DC measurement and bias.  Our Model 79 is available in a coaxial and triaxial version.  Please see our website for more information on all of our probe tips and holders.   

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we remain the top name in the field. Part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to our customers’ satisfaction. With a worldwide network of service support engineers, we provide system level support to keep you operating at maximum performance.
