Microscopy - Slides and Dishes

FORMATS 

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
