Hello, Very nice video! Just couple of questions:where did you find that small plunger? How can you measure the volume injected?I checked on Narishige website and I found that MO-10 isn't a microinjector, but just a micromanipulator. Thank you, Cheers,

Thank you very much for your interest in our work. About your questions: 1. Glass capillary tubes (Drummond Wiretrol™) come with a plunger, but if you already have some glass capillars without plungers, I believe the company also sells plungers. 2. The glass tubes are calibrated and the micro-injector has a scale on it, so you can calculate the delivered volume. If you buy the same glass tube we mentioned in the protocol, I can tell you that a whole wheel turn of these microinjector delivers 100 nl. 3. Certainly the MO-10 is an Oil Hydraulic Fine Micromanipulator that pushes the plunger through the capillary tube. To have a full injection system, you have to buy (or construct as we did it) a holder (Please freeze the image at 05:20 in the video) that grasps the black electrode holder and the glass capillary at the same time.
Very nice video!
