(Click to see larger image) The SGM-3 is designed for fixing the head simply, for non-stereotaxic fixation. Since the compact design allows itself a low gravity fixation, it can be set under the microscope stage.
The clamping method is based on 3 point fixation (mouth, nose and ear) that makes the fixation stable. The nosepiece can be detached and changed and by using the dedicated anesthetic mask, it will be easily to experiment with use of anesthesia.
By attaching the holding instrument to a single bar, it the head can be fixed stably and allows the head angle to be freely adjusted through 360�.
The shape and functions are simple, yet this holder can be used for many different purposes. The SGM-3 is for rats. The SGM-4 is for mice. The SG-3N (for rats) and SG-4N (for mice) do not include the anesthetic mask.
