The Teneo TM70xx series is a suite of exceptionally strong, high-resolution microtools. These mechanically actuated tools rely on a proprietary micro cam-drive1 to rigidly, accurately and repeatably position the tool tips and manipulate samples. This elegant and simple mechanical actuation results precludes the need for electrostatic or electrothermal forces to provide gripping strength. The TM70xx series is ideally suited for applications that require long-lasting tips and high-resolution control for grasping, manipulating, and excising microscale objects.

This unique and simple design allows for the following:

Broad range of tweezer styles: straight, serrated tips
Variations in function: micro-scissors, sensors, electrophysiology tools
Variations in material: plastics, metals
Flexibility in scale: from microns to millimeters.

The fourth control knob, or tweezer tip controller, may be custom fit to the micromanipulator, or one can use the optic field knob, which is commercially available on some systems. A fifth knob can be added to allow for axial rotation (θ) of the tweezers. The mechanical advantage
