We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Micromanipulators",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Measure millinewtons in tension or compression from
Kistler Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Piezoelectric force sensor for tensile and compression forces ranging down to a few millinewtons is exceptionally compact, with a front external diameter of only 5mm".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release The highest stage performance available? from
Prior Scientific: "Scanning stages for confocal microscopy now fit inverted research microscopes from all of the major microscope manufacturers and are compatible with all popular micromanipulators".
In December 2004, we covered the news from Prior Scientific
concerning its H117
- take a look at Stages optimised for Zeiss and Leica
which says: "This design of motorised scanning stage has proved immensely popular with system integrators and end users alike".
Take a look also at the news release from Nikon UK, Change objectives without damaging the specimen,
as well as UK distributor for micromanipulators from Nikon UK,
and Microscience 2004 preview: Leica Microsystems from Leica Microsytems.

Analytica 2004 preview: Prior Scientific
(March 2004)
Scanning stage with new three plate design offers greater flexibility by accommodating the widest range of specimen types and brings microscope automation within reach of even modest budgets
Scanning stage for use with micromanipulators
(February 2004)
As the drive mechanism of this motorised microscope stage is mounted on the underside, there is virtually no restriction on the angle micromanipulators can be positioned at
Range of modular micromanipulators
(July 2003)
Targeted at applications such as patch clamping and intracellular recording the range includes versions with manual, motorised and hydraulic drives with up to 0.1mm resolution
Microscopy relief contrast system
(October 2002)
New contrast technique provides better observation of cell shape and cell content - useful for injection applications such as IVF, removal of nuclei, and other transgenic work
Inverted microscopes observe living cells
(June 2002)
Improved optics for fluorescence and DIC observation are complemented with new imaging techniques for observation of cell morphology and functionality
