Light microscopes or optical microscopes are used to visualize microscale objects under magnification, including cells, clinical specimens and materials. Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples. Find the best light microscopes in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
The CM20 system provides quantitative data remotely - place the head and your cell cultures in the incubator, and the system will periodically scan it, count the number of cells, and determine confluency. The data are wirelessly communicated to a PC or a tablet through an optional router, so you can monitor your cultures' progress without entering a clean room.
Easy setup directly on your microscope: perform live cell imaging in dishes, slides, or multiwell plates. The ibidi Stage Top Incubation Systems fit every standard inverted microscope and include CO 2 and O 2 control as well as actively controlled humidity. They are ideal for all live cell imaging applications and available for single slides and dishes as well as for multiwell plates.
