Yes. The axial angle can be adjusted for semi-automatic injection and for manual injection with the axial function (e.g. into C. elegans). The adjustable angles are found in the operating manual and vary between 35° and 55° (positioned in the middle hole of the guide). For injection angles different from 45°, the angle settings must also be changed in the menu (Install/Angle).
