    Abstract: A selectively rigidizable endoscopic device is described. In one aspect, an endoscopic medical device is described that includes a flexible inner tube having a first lumen, a flexible outer tube that receives the inner tube, and a multiplicity of overlapping, rigidizable scale-like strips. Each scale-like strip is coupled with the inner tube and positioned between the inner and outer tubes. Of particular note, the overlapping strips are actuatable between a non-rigidized state in which overlapping strips are slideable relative to one another and a rigidized state in which overlapping strips are not slideable relative to one another.

    Abstract: A selectively rigidizable and actively steerable device is described. In one aspect, an articulatable device is described that includes a flexible inner tube having a first lumen, a flexible outer tube that receives the inner tube, and a multiplicity of overlapping, rigidizable scale-like strips. Each scale-like strip is coupled with the inner tube and positioned between the inner and outer tubes. Of particular note, the overlapping strips are actuatable between a non-rigidized state in which overlapping strips are slideable relative to one another and a rigidized state in which overlapping strips are not slideable relative to one another.

    Abstract: A device is disclosed for transferring an organism from a donor container to a recipient container. The device comprises a transfer plate assembly comprising a first subassembly and a second subassembly. The transfer plate assembly positions donor containers and recipient containers in an inverted relationship so that the organism pass from the donor container to the recipient container. In addition, a method is presented for transferring a small organism from a donor container to a recipient container. The method includes engaging a donor container to a transfer plate assembly. The method discloses engaging a recipient container to the transfer plate assembly wherein the recipient container is in an inverted orientation to the donor container and rotating the transfer plate assembly so that the recipient container is positioned below the donor container which allows the small organism to be transferred.
