A microgripper is a small device used for grasping and holding tiny objects. There are many different synonyms for the term microgripper, including micromanipulator, microhand, microtweezers, and nanogripper. These terms all refer to tools or devices that are used to manipulate objects on a very small scale. Micromanipulators are commonly used in laboratory settings, particularly in fields such as microbiology and nanotechnology. Microhands and microtweezers are also used in these fields, and are frequently used to handle delicate samples or manipulate small particles. Nanogrippers are similar to microgrippers, but are even smaller and more precise, making them ideal for nanoscale applications.
