Wide screen multi-sensor based microscope stage incubator

We developed a new standard in microscope stage incubation. Our wide screen smart incubator represents the technological breakthrough we achieved in 2006 in cooperation with scientist experts of time-lapse live cell imaging. The new generation of microscope incubators solves the problems that you may experience using liquid heating or other less hi-tech methods. Smart means not only a cutting edge technology but also twice more cost effectiveness than the competitors offer. Patent pending.

Real 0.1 °C accuracy !

In situ tests prove that in spite of the hypes most microscope incubators fail to keep 0.1 °C temperature homogeneity and temporal stability on your microscope stage. Heat transfer to the stage and objective lens can cause inhomogeneities of several degrees, and the low heat capacity of stage incubators makes them sensitive to environmental temperature fluctuations. Cells feel cold or can be exposed to heat shock in these incubators.

CellMovie incubators offer extremely precise and stable control of the temperature with minimal spatial inhomogeneity for several types of culture dishes. Cells enjoy to be photographed in a CellMovie incubator.

Multi-sensor technology

CellMovie applies multi-sensor based incubation: the temperature is monitored by miniature semiconductor sensors at several locations inside the incubator. Corresponding electronic heater units warrant uniform temperature distribution inside the incubator. High spatial homogeneity and temporal stability of temperature guaranteed: 37.0 ± 0.1 °C.

Wide screen

The wide screen makes easy the observation of cells in a range of culture dishes. Glass bottom and cover are heated by ITO coating. Our incubator is hermetically closed. Steaming up is eliminated. No water condensation appears in the light path.

Objective friendly bottom

Wide screen CellMovie incubator was engineered to accommodate microscope objectives even at very high magnification. CellMovie incubators are compatible with the motorized and manual stages of other manufacturers designed for inverted microscopes.

4-well multi-sensor based microscope stage incubator

Our 4-well incubator can admit four Petri dishes with a diameter of 35 mm, which makes possible the long-term observation of four independent tissue cultures.

Each Petri dish is sandwiched by a pair of ITO-coated glass discs. 4+2 temperature sensors and corresponding heating units built into the incubator provides solid basis for professional live cel imaging.

Temperature accuracy: 37 +/- 0.1 °C. Water condensation free surfaces enable you to capture permanently sharp time-lapse images.

We suggest to use this incubator on a 2D motorized microscope stage.

Our 4-well incubator was developed at the Department of Biological Physics, Eötvös University, Budapest.

Objective lens heating ring

We manufacture specific size heating rings perfectly fitting your objective lens. Low working distance and/or high diameter objectives need additional heating because the proximity of the room temperature massive objective to the bottom of the stage incubator can cool the spot above the lens by 1-2 °C, which may even result in steaming up. Control module of the lens heating ring is integrated into the incubator control box.

Optional modules that can be integrated into the Control Box

 

Lamp module
 

Lamp module controls the halogen lamp or other simply switchable lamp of your microscope. (Fluorescent excitation light sources, e.g., mercury lamps cannot be switched frequently.) Both our vmc software and the joystick can address the lamp module.

Fluorescent shutter module

Fluorescent shutter module is able to control the shutter gating the fluorescent excitation light in fluorescent time-lapse experiments, i.e., excitation light will hit the sample in synchrony with camera exposition. Both the vmc software and the joystick can adress the shutter module.

CO2 valve module

CO2 valve module was developed to easily control the gas inlet into the incubator using the vmc software or joystick. Our incubators are hermetically closed, which means that normally gas injection is needed only in every third hour for a few seconds.
