Most of the microscope adapters are based on two standard sizes
(bases): 128x86mm the size of standard multi-well plates, which fits
most sample holders on mechanical microscope stages; and
160x110mm insert that fits most motorized stages and type K stages (IMA-motor),
which also can be used with extensions to fit larger
motorized stages.128x86mm base plates fit inside IMA-motor base adapter,
which also is used with different inserts to hold various samples.
Both IMA-type and MA-type adapters
with 50mm opening in the middle are used with Peri dishes, CSC and
UTIC chambers and small heating elements
TC-E35-xx. IMA-74-xx adapters
with 74mm cutout are used with incubators TC-MIS,
cooling stages and larger heating
elements: TC-E50-xx.
Magnetic adapters MA-xx are constructed by attaching magnetic plates
to IMA-74-type bases and are used to attach miniature magnetic holders.
