This Adjustable stage attaches to the base plate of a stereotaxic instrument for additional support for the animal’s body. May be tilted, raised or lowered to put the animal’s body in an appropriately supported position. It is available alone or with either a homeothermic heating device or simple heater element.
The homeothermic model comes with an embedded heating pad under the table surface and a feedback controlled proportional current power supply to maintain a preset temperature on the table surface. The high heat conductivity of the aluminum table surface distributes the heat evenly to the animal’s ventral surfaces.
The simple heated model comes with an embedded heating pad under the table surface. It has no feedback mechanism.
