Model 1404 Heavy-Duty Research Stereotaxic
for Cats and Monkeys

Model 1404 Stereotaxic Instrument is a general purpose, heavy-duty research instrument. Its superior rigidity, large frame bars and precision bearing surfaces assure absolute alignment of laboratory animals for indefinite periods of time.

Model 1404 consists of a Kopf Model 1430 Frame Assembly and four Model 1460 three-dimensional Electrode Manipulators. Model 1770 Electrode Holder with corner clamp is included. Manipulator resolution includes 100 microns (0.1 mm) all axis. Manipulator product specifications and options are located on catalog pages 62 - 65.

A/P Bar(s) - 18.70 mm square

A/P Bar length - 30.50 cm

A/P Bar calibration - 100 mm each side of zero
(ear bar centerline)

Frame Bar centerline distance - 17.78 cm

A/P zero to posterior end of bar -12.08 cm

Ear Bar Locator position - A/P zero

Model 1430 Frame Assembly with one set of ear bar locators includes Model 1210 - Table Mount Base Plate (3½" x 3½") and Model 1225 Universal Swivel Stand which allows dual plane rotation.

Model 1245 Cat / Monkey Adaptor locates the animal firmly and accurately by means of tapered ear bars which fit into the external auditory meatus. Adjustable infra-orbital clamps and a vertically adjustable palate bar prevent rotation of the skull.
