Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an articulated apparatus for guiding a relative movement of components into a target position, which may be the operating position of a micromanipulator arrangement. The articulated apparatus has multiple parts, which are movable with respect to each other. Two stop devices are used which, in combination, imitate the “latching-in” of a conventional latching device, but offer a considerably greater level of precision. A combined stop position is settable as said target position in which the first stop position and the second stop position are both present. The invention uses two stop devices in order to imitate the leaving of the “latched” target position in two directions as in the case of latching. Such articulated apparatus may be typically used with a micromanipulator arrangement of a cytobiological or microbiological workstation.
