Description<br />
A menu-controlled, programmable micromanipulator, the<br />
<strong>In</strong>jectMan NI 2 1 is especially suitable for microinjection into<br />
adherent cells. The electronic connection of the <strong>In</strong>jectMan NI 2<br />
and the FemtoJet 2 or FemtoJet express (page 281) ensures a<br />
very rapid and reproducible microinjection. The semiautomatic<br />
microinjection allows a coordinated process of manipulation and<br />
injection: first, the injection parameter is set on the FemtoJet;<br />
second, the injection level is fixed via pressing a button on the<br />
<strong>In</strong>jectMan NI 2. The exact axial injection movement ensures<br />
a minimum mortality rate, and its high speed facilitates the<br />
penetration of rigid structures.<br />
