Footswitch for Hands-free Firing

Footswitch

When working with micromanipulators, the XYClone allows you to work in "hands-free" mode by using the optional foot switch to fire the laser. Simply use the manipulators to position the embryo to the target and press the foot switch to fire the laser. Your micromanipulation proceeds rapidly and the time the embryo spends on the microscope stage is minimized.

High Performance Computer System

The XYCROS comes with your choice of a desktop or laptop computer.
