Miniature Incubator for motorized and type K microscope stages,
TC-MI-20x46
Designed for live cell imaging and time-lapsed microscopy. Can be used for long-term
imaging: see cell chemotaxis tracks obtained during 8 hours incubation.
This incubator can be used with 50mm dishes and chambers, slides/coverglasses,
and, in combination with 50mm reducing inserts TC-PA50 (and TC-PA-C, -N, -F, -W), with 35 dishes
and coverslip holders CSC and UTIC.
Incorporates an inside reservoir for water to control humidity.
Requires a heated lid (purchased separately) to prevent condensation
and a to control CO2 and hypoxia. Built-in multiple sealed ports for tubing and accessories (probes and sensors).
Can be upgraded with an objective heater for immersion optics.
Fits all brands of motorized stages and Zeiss type K stages with 160x110mm insert
(adapters for other stages are available, see the table below). An optional set of
adjustable tubing
holders MH-MIS allows you to position perfusion tubing
for continuous media exchange.
Requires a temperature controller.
