Abstract
A micromanipulator fine control apparatus is operated with a mouse. As the mouse is moved to the front, rear, left and right, a control handle is tilted to the front, rear, left and right, respectively, and a fore and aft fine control slider and a left-right fine control slider are moved in the corresponding directions. A liquid amount contained in a first liquid-operated cylinder is varied by a fore and aft fine control liquid-operated arrangement responsive to the fore and aft fine control slider, and a liquid amount of a second liquid-operated cylinder is varied by left-right fine control liquid-operated arrangement responsive to the left-right fine control slider. Accordingly, the micromanipulator is finely moved in the same direction as the mouse is moved.
