Novel manipulator follows movements of arteries and muscles, enabling precise placement of probe or other microsurgical tool in moving tissue. Microprobe assembly is mounted on output of pneumatic servo of commercial noncontracting thickness gage. Pulsations of tissue surface to be penetrated by probe are sensed by gage and followed by servo, eliminating relative motion between tissue and probe.
