Cryo WJ CO2 Microscope Stage Incubator
| The Cryo WJ CO2 MSI provides superior incubation stability above and below room temperature. Water is pumped from a water bath into the base plate and into the lid, which are both Water Jackets. Modelsl fitting all XY stages on the market are available. Chambers suitable for high magnification microscopy and multipoint experiments are available. A wide choice of inserts adds flexibility to the equipment and allows to accept any cell culture support (petri-dishes, chamber slides, mutiwell plates, etc.). Possibility to perform thermal cycles. |

Specimen Temperature Regulation
Temperature is directly measured inside a reference Petri-dish and is controlled by a software PID controller by circulating water from a cryostatic water bath into the Water Jacket. The software controller reads the temperature in the reference well and updates the set point temperature of the water bath, ensuring a specimen temperature stability of ± 0.1°C. |

|
CO2 and Humidity Regulation
CO2 is mixed with air in the control unit and is continuously fed into the incubating chamber to control medium pH. Possibility to record and control CO2 levels during the entire experiment. Upon request, a third gas can be also fed into the incubating chamber. |
 |
|
Humidity Regulation
A humidifying and a pre-heating module prevent medium evaporation and avoid water condensation on glass and plastic surfaces. |

Temperature Control Software Cryo
Temperature Control Software communicates with the water bath and with the temperature meter ensuring a temperature stability of ± 0.1°C. Temperature Control Software reads sample temperature every minute and stores it in computer memory. Intelligent software tools avoid thermal shock to the specimen when the CO2 Microscope Stage Incubator is opened (Thermal shock prevention). A software temperature offset compensates the heat sink caused by oil immersion objectives (Oil immersion compensation). Thermal cycle module allows to perform thermal cycles (ramps, waves, etc). |
