Heating Inserts
The Heating Insert holds the sample and fits into the Heated Plate. The Insert is held in place by
strong neodymium magnets. Use the handles to install/remove the insert to/from the Plate of the
Heating System.
The Heating Inserts have a lower part (Insert) that fit into the Heated Plate, and an upper part (holder)
to press the sample down. The two–part inserts have two functions that both use the force of the
integrated magnets. The first function is to hold the Slides or Dishes firmly into position, so as to
avoid displacement during microscope stage movements. The second is to create a tight contact of
the Slides or Dishes to the metallic insert, which then maximizes the heat transfer and ensures the
stable heat control of the sample. The Heated Plate passively heats the inserts.
