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.
