A new type of recording microelectrode with mechanical and electrical properties suitable for use in microelectrode assemblies for neurophysiological studies in the central nervous system was developed by adaptation of principles from optical fiber technology. A microdrive for independent positioning of up to 7 electrodes for the recording of electrical activity from individual neurons was constructed. It operates by the combined action of a stepping motor and a system of independently controllable piezoelectric clutches and brakes for each electrode.
通过采用光纤技术原理，开发出一种新型记录微电极，其机械和电学特性适用于中枢神经系统神经生理学研究的微电极组件。构建了一种微驱动器，可独立定位多达7个电极，用于记录单个神经元的电活动。它通过步进电机以及每个电极独立可控的压电离合器和制动器的联合作用来运行。
