- Remote Headstage — Easily
mounted in any manipulator, this small probe, containing the first
stage of amplification, includes a microelectrode holder, which
plugs directly into the probe input.
Battery Power— Four 9V
alkaline batteries (included) power the Electro 705 for
approximately 500 hours giving a super clean low noise source of
power making the Electro 705 the quietest amplifier available.
Batteries can be easily tested by the press of a
button.
Capacitance Compensation— Corrects
for loss of rise time caused by the presence of electrode capacity.
Up to 50 pF of electrode shunt capacity may be
neutralized.
-
Driven Guard Shield — Stray
capacitance can be further reduced by placing the driven guard
shield (included) over the microelectrode holder at the input end of
the probe.
Tickler Circuit — A
momentary oscillation that helps achieve cell
penetration.
Electrode Resistance Test — The 705
provides a 1 nA electrode test current. Electrode resistance is
monitored at the 1X output as a voltage (1 mV/M).
Probe Test Port — Allows
the convenience of testing the amplifier's intrinsic noise and gain
without cumbersome external test hookups. Gate leakage current can
also be adjusted with minimum effort.
Baseline Position Control — Adds or
subtracts up to 300 mV to the headstage output, allowing artefact voltages such as liquid junction potentials to be nulled prior to
recording.
Differential Output — Two
Electro 705s can be connected in tandem to create an optional
differential amplifier probe
system.
