The manual actuator is an optional accesory for the mardtb goniostat. It allows for sliding the cryohead of a cooling device slightly up and down, just enough for getting enough room for mounting a sample but without moving a sample completely out of the cold stream. The actuator is designed for single hand operation and is easy to install on any existing mardtb goniostat. The unit consists of:

Translation stage with a range of approx. 20 mm Manual brake for holding the cryo-device in the "up" position Hard brake for preventing slippage of the cryo-device into the sample Adapter for Oxford Cryosystems, Oxford Instruments and Rigaku coolers (other types upon request) Mounting bracket for mardtb goniostat Installation manual
