3.3 Manipulator: Tilt, Rotation and Swing-Out
Tilt, rotation and swing-out allow surgery to be performed at any angle. To change the tilt or
rotation, or use the swing-out, unlock the clamps indicated.

Tilt changes the manipulator angle and in turn the probe’s angle of approach. The primary tilt can
be in either the AP or ML planes. Rotation rotates the plane of tilt between AP and ML.
Swing-out is used to swivel the manipulator 90° to allow access to the animal.
