Micromanipulator’s Complete “Systems Approach”



One of the things we are proud of at Micromanipulator is that our highly advanced technology relieves the “burden of performance” from system operators and lets them focus on the data, not on the prober.  By taking a “systems approach” to the design, engineering and manufacturing of our probe stations, we integrate the complete process with our exceptional line of expertly designed accessories and consumables.   

Since we offer such a broad selection of products, you will be able to configure your prober to suit your application needs as well as your own personal preference.  Our extensive list of options includes: high-quality thermal wafer chucks, vibration isolation tables, camera systems, microscopes, light and noise shields, manipulators, and DC and RF measurement hardware. You will find that Micromanipulator’s line up of probe holders and tips is the most comprehensive on the market today.

You may also want to take a look at our exclusive H1000 Thermal Wafer Chuck.  It leads the wafer probing industry by offering not only the best planarity and lowest noise but also the lowest cost of ownership.  The H100 comes with a choice of heating power supplies and several cooling options.  Systems support wafer testing from -65 to 400 degrees C.   

As one of the top test probe designers and manufacturers in the world, we have extensive experience in cutting-edge applications that range from low current, to high speed testing.  Our areas of expertise include low current/low noise measurement, failure analysis, high and low temperature characterization, device reliability analysis, high speed digital analysis, ESD wafer level testing and much more.  See our website to learn more about all of our exceptional products. If you do not find the information you need online, please give us a call as we can help answer your questions.    

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we remain the leading name in the field.    We offer one of the most comprehensive selections of probe stations on the market today as well the consumables, accessories and on-site support you require.  Contact us to learn more.

Top Selection of Probe Tips





To maximize your efficiency, you will want to outfit your probe station with Micromanipulator’s quality consumable accessories.  We design and manufacture a range of reliable disposable needle probes that are appropriate for a broad range of applications that include general probing; low resistance; high power; sub-micron targets; compliant, thermal applications; delicate target or surface; cutting and more.  Disposable needle probes offer the advantage of quick replacement and help to eliminate down time associated with the need to re-sharpen.    

Many of our needle probes are made with a nickel or tungsten shank and tungsten tip and are suitable for most probing applications.  In addition we offer customers a selection of disposable probe tips that include fine tips, small targets with ‘C’ bend, or very small targets with a bendable nickel or Dumet shank cat-whisker.  To learn more about our entire inventory of needles and probe holders, please refer to our website’s reference chart for recommendations regarding specific applications. 

Even if you do not see a probe tip that meets your application needs, we are happy to customize a special probe tip for a nominal setup charge.  Furthermore, if you prefer a probe holder with the needle probe built in, you may want to take a look at our Model 44, which is a perfect example of a single unit probe holder and tip.  This type of prober works great in applications that deal with high frequency, low level signal testing or cutting. 

We stand by our products and all of Micromanipulator’s probe tips and probe holders are expertly engineered to meet measurement equipment interface requirements, application and budget demands along with personal preference.  Our decades of experience in analytic probing mean we have had the opportunity to listen and learn from our customers and to design products that meet their needs.

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. Please contact us to learn more about our excellent range of probe stations and accessories.
