Microscope Adapter, IMA-128x86(mm)

This basic adapter goes in place for standard multi-well plates to fit on most mechanical and motorized microscope stages. It can be used with heating elements, glass bottom (35/50mm) and regular Petri dishes, as well as coverslip holders and cover glasses. Miniature screw-type holders can be attached directly to the surface to fix perfusion tubing, electrodes, and sensors. Includes fixing clamps and thumb screws, plus the reducing ring for 35mm dishes.

You can form imaging and perfusion chambers directly on the surface of standard microscope glass slides or rectangular 25x60mm coverslips and position the chamber on an upright or inverted microscope using this adapter.

Adapters, reducing rings, for Petri dishes, TC-PA-

For different brands of 35mm dishes. Since different brands have different diameter, a reducing ring is recommended to center the dish inside the microscope adapter. Select the appropriate adapter from the table below. If your brand of the dish is not listed, we might be able to find the right adapter if you send us a sample of the dish.

Adapter, reducing ring, for Easy-grip Petri dishes from BD, PA-EG

For BD easy-grip brand of 35mm dishes. Since the actual diameter of these dishes is more than 38mm, a reducing ring is recommended to center the dish inside the microscope stage. The adapter is the green ring on the picture to the right.
