Imaging > Coverslip Chambers > Ultra-Thin High-Resolution Chambers

Ultra-thin sealed chamber for upright and inverted microscopes

The chamber is formed by putting a thin spacer between two 25mm coverslips. The minimum thickness is 150 micron. You can change thickness by using a number of spacers. The inside opening is 20mm. Smaller openings are available upon request  The adhesive gaskets form sealed chambers if used with smooth surfaces. The adhesive is easy to remove after use. Procedure: put the coverslip into the holder; remove one protective layer from adhesive gasket; position the gasket above the coverslip; remove the second protective layer; put your sample inside the opening; cover with the second coverslip. If adhesive gasket is used, the chamber will be fixed to the holder with excess of adhesive protruding from under the coverslip. These ultra-thin chambers can be used with heated chambers and regular glass slides. Can be used with oil-immersion optics and for multi-photon imaging. Click on image to enlarge.

PCCS1

$60

Open Thin Chamber for Replaceable 25mm CoverSlips (on the Bottom). Open polycarbonate chamber for use with water-immersion optics or when access is needed for local substance application. The chamber is only 4mm thick. The chamber and coverslip are flashed on the bottom. The 25mm cover slip is attached to the chamber using self-adhesive spacer with 21mm opening. Adhesive is easy to remove after use. Consider adding a perfusion system.

PCCS2

$75

Open Small Volume Chamber. Open polycarbonate chamber for use with water-immersion optics and when access is needed for local substance application. The chamber is only 4mm thick. It has three separate openings - imaging, inflow and outflow. This facilitates perfusion and prevents bubbles from entering into imaging compartment. Adhesive is easy to remove after use. Consider adding a perfusion system.
