Z-INSERT-INC

The Z-INSERT-INC is a special version of the Z-INSERT with an embedded stage-top environmental chamber. It has the ideal design to create the proper environment for long-lasting live cell imaging :

A 128.5 mm by 86.5 mm opening that accepts directly any multi-well microplates with a SBS Standard 127.5 x 85 mm (5″ x 3 1/3”) footprint
It can support interchangeable sample-holder for microscope slides (fixed or rotary), Petri dishes or coverslips
The C02 input(s) can be connected to a variety of C02 regulator (on request : Okolab, Tokai Hit, Pecon…).
Input and output holes through the chamber can be accessed for perfusion
The lid is easily removable for direct access to the sample
On special request, the temperature regulation can be achieved with a large Cage Incubator for achieving good temperature regulation.

The Z-INSERT-INC stage has all the advantages of the Z-INSERT, that means it fits directly any standard 160mm x 110mm opening (K-type frame) which is used on most motorized stages provided by third party manufacturers. The Z-INSERT-INC is compatible with the following microstages :

ASI – MS-2000 Flat Top XY/XYZ motorized stage (a special version is needed for non-flat top stage)
Marzhauzer – Scanning Stage SCAN IM 120×80
Prior – K type Frame
Ludl – BioPrecison2
Zeiss – K type Frame
Nikon – Ti XY motorized stage (requires the Nikon Adapter plate, in order to reduce the aperture)
Olympus – IX3-SSU (requires the Olympus adapter plate, in order to reduce the aperture)
Leica – Regular 3-plate stage
