Cable Clip for Optional Use
CAUTION
– ibidi GmbH does not accept any liability for damages resulting from
the use of the cable clip on your microscope. Please check with your microscope provider
and/or your institution’s technical support if using the cable clip on the microscope stage
is allowed.
The cable clip can optionally be used on your microscope stage to reduce the strain from any ca-
bles and gas tubing on the Incubation Chamber to a minimum. Please check with your microscope
provider and/or your institution’s technical support if modifications to the microscope stage are
allowed.
The cable clip comes with a self-adhesive tape on the underside that can be applied once to a smooth
surface. To use the clip, define the optimal position of the clip on your stage, before removing the
protective foil from the self-adhesive tape and mounting the clip to the stage by slight pressure. It
takes about one hour until full adhesion strength of the tape has been reached. Open the clamp and
introduce all cables and tubing leading from the Incubation Chamber to the controller(s).
If there is no more need for the clamp, it can easily be removed by soaking the adhesive tape with
isopropanol (70%) for about 20–30 s, followed by careful removal of the clip via circular movements.
Dry away remaining isopropanol with a lint-free tissue.

organic solvents may remove the instrument’s paint.
