Our new imaging dishes are designed for high resolution microscopy of living and fixed cells. These 35mm petri dishes are fitted with a central cover glass bottom with a diameter of 18mm. This design is ideal for direct inverse microscopy of the seeded cells.

The level of the cover glass is 2mm lower than the surrounding polystyrene dish. This allows the cells to become concentrated on the central cover glass. Cover glass thicknesses of 1.0 and 1.5 are offered (145μm and 175μm respectively).

APPLICATIONS:

Laser scanning confocal microscopy
Total internal reflection fluorescence
Differential interference contrast
Fluorescence correlation microscopy
Low intensity fluorescence

FEATURES OF COVER GLASS BOTTOM

Borosilicate glass bottom 145μm or175μm
Excellent well planarity
Tissue culture (TC) surface to support cell spreading and adhesion
Optical benefits of borosilicate cover glass

ADVANCED CELL CULTURE PROPERTIES

Amino group treatment for better cell adhesion, spreading and distribution
High quality cover glass as gold standard for imaging applications
35mm polystyrene dish with 18mm central cover glass area
Cover glass area is recessed 2mm below the polystyrene base
Version available with a micro grid to observe cell migration
