Model 1504 Stereotaxic Instrument is a large, heavy-duty, rigid unit that enables precise alignment of laboratory animals for stereotaxic surgery. Modular in design, it can be used with a wide variety of adaptors so that animals from the size of a beagle dog down to and including mice can be placed with the same ease and precision. It is our most versatile stereotaxic instrument.
The Model 1504 consists of a Kopf Model 1530 Frame Assembly and four three dimensional electrode manipulators. Frame bars (18.7mm square) are 37.47 cm long with 100 mm of calibration on each side of zero (ear bar center line). Distance between frame bar center lines is17.78 cm. Distance from ear bar center line (A-P zero) to the posterior portion of the cross bar is 19.70 cm.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Model 1211 16″ Base Plate
This portable mounting plate is constructed of heavy 3/8″ aluminum. It is 12″ x 16″ and has a clamp screw and mounting socket with a 3/4″ diameter hole for the streotaxic instrument.
Weight: 8lbs.
Model 1711 Intracellular Base Plate
The intracellular base plate is supplied with the Model 1730 Intracellular Frame, but can be used to mount any stereotaxic frame. This heavy alumi num base plate is 1-1/2″ x 12″ x 22″ with four rubber feet for dampening vibration. There is a 1″ hole for mounting the stereotaxic instrument at one
end of the plate, and two 3/8-24 threaded holes at the other end of the plate for mounting the Model 1735 Vertical Post & Tie Bar for stability. You can mount the Model 1430 or 1530 Stereotaxic Frame to this base by ordering the Model 1712-02 Sleeve to reduce the mounting hole to 3/4″ diameter, or by ordering the Model 1725 Universal Clamp and Stand Post.
Model 1712 Instrument Mounting Plate
Designed for micro-electrode work where high inertia and maximum rigidity are essential, the Model 1712 base plate is 2-1/4″ x 12″ x 36″ aliminum with a 1″ diameter hole and T handle lock (for Model 1730) for mounting the stereotaxic instrument. You can mount the Model 1430 or 1530 Stereotaxic Frame to this base by ordering the Model 1712-02 Sleeve to reduce the mounting hole to 3/4″ diameter, or by ordering the Model 1725 Universal Clamp and Stand Post. Rubber mounts are provided on the corners for dampening vibration.
Model 1449 Electrode Manipulator Stand
provides a convenient place to store manipulators after electrodes have been set, before stereotaxic placement. They also make a safe place for storage when manipulators are not in use. Units consist of a 10″long square aluminum bar fitted to a 5″ x 10″ aluminum base plate.
Model 1449 is for use with 1400 and 1500 Series Stereotaxic Instrument (18.70mm bar).
Model 1450 Calibrated A-P Zeroing Bar
allows electrodes to be set while the animal is in the stereotaxic instrument. It consists of an A-P bar with 100mm of calibration on each side of zero mounted on an aluminum base plate. Also mounted to the base plate is a locating pin which coincides to A-P, lateral and vertical zero on the stereotaxic frame. By setting electrodes to the point of the pin (ear bar zero) with a manipulator and establishing coordinates, dimensions may be accurately transferred to the calibrated A-P bar of the stereotaxic instrument.
Model 1450 is for use with 1400 and 1500 Series.
The Model 1455 Electrode Angle Calibrato
proves a quick and reliable method for the accurate stereotaxic placement of electrodes at any angle including right and compound angles.
Adapted exclusively for use with the 900 Series Stereotaxics, this unithas a lateral slide and rotating vertical post mounted on a zeroing point.
The lateral slide has a 0.1mm vernier attached to a moveable slide block.
When the block is set at zero, the zeroing point of the slide is at ear bar zero.
Model 1455 is for use with 1400 and 1500 Series Stereotaxic Instrument (18.70mm bar size).
