Dear all,
can anyone name a supplier of a tweezer or other means of hand-held equipment with which I can rotate the held specimen exactly 180° (flip) around a horizontal axis (e.g. by a mini ratchet moving a cogwheel) ?
Thanks

Applied Materials? If you've got a couple of hundred $K.
When you say exactly 180 degrees, do you really mean exactly? How big is =
the specimin? What is it? How does it need to be held? Is this for=20 microscopy? I know there are special rotatory platforms that are=20 designed to sit under a dissecting microscope. There are also platforms=20 that are designed for electronics engineers that rotate too.
=2E.. but having said that, I cant remember who makes them!
This sounds like two stock components:
1) a flexible rotary drive to a chuck. 2) a flexible three claw grasper with a push button.Mount 2) on 1) Fix a handwheel on the far end of 1) Mount stops to make a 180 deg rotation.
For what it's worth...

platforms
Don=B4t wanna spin it, wanna flip it ...
Don=B4t wanna spin it, wanna flip it ...
please elaborate on what you mean then--
to me, "flip" and "spin" are the same thing, it's just a question of what the axis of rotation is....
But a 180 deg flip is a 180 deg spin at right angles, isn't it?
