ABSTRACT:
A micro-manipulator has a handling mechanism for gripping micro-material with two gripping fingers. The handling mechanism has a fixed finger with an end effecter for touching the micro-material, a movable finger with an end effecter capable of rotating around a rocking shaft for touching the micro-material, and an actuator for rotating the movable finger. The actuator drive moves the movable finger so as to be capable of touching a leading end of the movable finger end effecter to a leading end of the fixed finger end effecter. The micro-manipulator can securely and quickly grip a micro-material in a microscope visual field.
