3A1-A07 Construction of automatic stage for the purpose of support of operation by the micro hand(Bio Assembler for 3D Cellular System Innovation (1))

Abstract

Recently, manipulation and observation of the cells are actively conducted in order to analyze the biological phenomena. Since the micro-hand is usually fixed to the work environment, grasping asymmetric cell by using a microhand is limited by narrow workspace. In order to overcome the limitations of the limited workspace of micro hand, we pursuit to control the stage which carries the cell. In this paper, we propose an automatic stage system for support the operation of the micro hand. Our automatic stage can continuously rotate the target cell in the microscopic field therefore we can properly grasp the target asymmetric cell at the specific location. In the future, various functions of automatic stage will be introduced.
