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 accepting every multi-well microplates with an 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 thanks to a large Cage Incubator.

The Z-INSERT-INC stage has all the advantages of the Z-INSERT, that means it fits every standard 160mm x 110mm opening (K-type frame) which are used on most motorized stages provided by third party manufacturers. This stage 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
