The F-1000 de Fonbrune microforge provides the versatility to quickly and precisely create the microtools needed for micromanipulative and microsurgical techniques.
The F-1000 de Fonbrune microforge is used to quickly and accurately manufacture the various micro-instruments (needles, scalpels, pipettes, handles, hooks, etc.) necessary for optimal use with all types of micro-manipulators. The variety and complexity of tools that can be fabricated with the F-1000 is limited only by the skill and creativity of the user. The F-1000 microforge, formerly marketed by Alcatel, is comprised of a horizontal microscope combined with fine adjustment filament and tool holder. A blower and electric supply equipment are also included. Improved optics greatly enhance the ability of the F-1000 microforge to respond to the most exacting experimental requirements. The new microscope has two objectives, an x4 and an LWD x10 which can be easily switched to arrive at 40x and 100x magnifications with the standard x10 eyepieces.
