ibidi Heating System Slide/Dish – Silver Line

A heating system for live cell imaging applications that require stable and homogenous temperature for high resolution microscopy

Applications

The ibidi Heating System is ideal for live cell imaging experiments that require physiologic conditions on the microscope.

Combined with the ibidi Gas Incubation System, it serves as a complete Stage Top Incubator, precisely controlling essential parameters such as temperature, humidity, and CO₂/O₂ levels on the microscope to get reproducible results of, for example:

• Chemotaxis assays
• Angiogenesis assays
• Cell migration assays
• Wound healing assays
• Proliferation assays
• Cell culture under flow assays
• Hypoxia experiments

The ibidi Heating System is optimized for high-resolution imaging applications that require extra focus stability, for example:

• TIRF
• Fluorescence microscopy
• Confocal microscopy
• DIC microscopy
• Oil immersion microscopy

Technical Features

• Easy installation on every inverted microscope that has a holder for multiwell plates
• Highest focus stability during microscopy due to heat regulation by continuous current (minimum temperature/z-position fluctuations)
• Highest xy-stability on the microscope stage due to the clamping mechanism of the Heated Plate
• Brilliant images without disturbing condensation on the lid due to optimal heat distribution across the Heated Lid
• Suitable for oil immersion microscopy when used with the Objective Heater Universal – Silver Line (not included)
• Suitable for DIC microscopy and TIRF
• Slide Holder included, with leveling option, for using chamber slides, channel slides, and chambered coverslips, including all ibidi µ-Slides (see Instructions for details)
• Dish Holder included, with leveling option, for using 35 mm dishes with different wall heights, including the µ-Dish ^{35 mm, high} and the µ-Dish ^{35 mm, low}
• Can be combined with the ibidi Gas Incubation System to create a complete Stage Top Incubator for long-term physiologic conditions on the microscope with controlled temperature, humidity, CO₂, and O₂
• Humidity sensor is integrated into the Heated Lid and close to the sample
• Reduced number of cables for easy handling
• Includes IncuControl software for remote control and data recording
• Includes external temperature sensor (e.g., for measuring the sample temperature during calibration of the system)
