A calibrated guide mechanism used by a surgeon to manually operate a Z-axis positioner which allows extremely accurate placement of a single or multiple microelectrodes, stimulation electrodes, probes, instruments, or implantable devices, along a chosen track during neurosurgery on the brain. It is intended to be used with a neurosurgical stereotactic system. It typically consists of a metal, graduated frame along which an instrument holder traverses (e.g., approximately 50 mm) by adjustment of a graduated knob that revolves a fine pitched lead screw (e.g., one revolution of the knob will advance the drive by 1 mm). Some types can have an electrical motor attached for motorized drive.
