No, the Zaber X-RST-E Series motorized rotation stage has an indexed knob that provides smooth manual control at variable speeds in both directions for versatile operation even without a computer.

The Mono Fiber-optic Cannula is an assembly of a bare optical fiber, a fiber ferrule and a receptacle or a sleeve. One side of the ferrule is polished while the implantable part of the fiber protrudes from the opposite end of the ferrule. The ferrule is placed within the receptacle or sleeve to allow connection to the fiber-optic patch cord. The protruding fiber can be implanted into the body while the ferrule or the receptacle is attached to the skull. When the cannula is connected with the patch cord, it is possible to send light signals to and from tissue close to the fiber tip. It is imperative for in vivo optogenetics applications that the fiber-optic cannula allows for efficient, plug and play type connection to the fiber-optic patch cord.A receptacle is a mechanical holder that defines the positions of the fiber tip and guides the connecting ferrule to the optical coupling position. For Mono Fiber-optic Cannulas we offer zirconia sleeves as the simplest form of a receptacle, alongside M2, M3 and slim magnetic receptacles.Low Profile Cannulas are designed to minimize the height over the animal's head. The patch cord connection is in the same axis as the animal's body instead of hanging over its head. This cannula allows for the fiber optic implantation in a standard stereotaxic dorso-ventral axis, but the interconnection are along the antero-posterior plane. This cannula design minimizes the pressure applied on the animal's head during the connection/disconnection of the patch cord. Furthermore, the Low Profile Cannula facilitates the motion of the animal’s head in restraint areas.

Zaber's X-RST-E Series products are motorized rotation stages with built-in controllers and motor encoders. Rated for a 50 kg centered load capacity and 10 N-m of torque, they are ideal for high load, angular positioning applications.

They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24-48 V power supply. An indexed knob provides smooth manual control at variable speeds in both directions for versatile operation even without a computer. Press and hold to switch between velocity mode and position mode, turn to move the stage, and press to stop.

The stages connect to the USB 2.0 or RS-232 port of any computer and can be chained with several units per chain. They can be chained with any other Zaber products. Convenient locking, 4-pin, M8 connectors on the unit allow for easy and secure connection. The chain also shares power, so multiple X-Series products can use a single power supply.
