Principle – Physiological Conditions in Live Cell Imaging
The Heated Lid and Heated Plate are designed to keep cells on–stage at 37°C in microscopy slides
and dishes (Figure
). The Heated Lid prevents condensation effects inside the entire incubation
system (Figure
The Heated Plate provides outer dimensions of 127.5 mm × 85.5 mm which fits perfectly into an
universal mounting frame K. The glass top of the Heated Lid and the Heated Plate are actively heat–
controlled by the Temperature Controller.
The modular concept of the Heating Inserts enables the use of different consumables ranging from
60 mm and 35 mm dishes to regular slides.
Combined with a Gas Mixer. humidity, CO
