The ASI stage wings option consists of two solidly machined extender wings that can be securely bolted onto ASI's precision automated MS-2000 stages. The stage wing option allows micromanipulators, like the MM-33 unit shown here, to be easily and securely attached to the top plate of the stage. This allows the micromanipulators to be moved in both the X and Y axis with the sample. The stage wing option also allows other apparatuses such as perfusion tubes or stereotaxic equipment to be securely attached to the stage.

Metric versions have 6mm threads on 25 mm centers; english versions have ¼ - 20 threaded holes on one-inch centers.

Note that on stages with XY linear encoders, only one stage wing may be attached.
