TSA12Gi Thermoelectric Stage for inverted microscope
-
Thermoelectric stage with gastight chamber for inverted microscope operation
-
-25°C ~ 120°C with thermoelectric heating and cooling
-
Ideally designed for samples in Petri dishes up to φ 40.5 mm or 25mm x 75mm glass microscope slides
-
Streamlined design for long duration experiments without liquid nitrogen
Description
Instec의 TSA12Gi는 inverted 광학현미경용으로 특별히 설계된 Thermo Electric (Peltier) 기반의 핫 스테이지입니다. 넓은 샘플 챔버, 간단한 온도 컨트롤, 향상된 분위기 제어, 조정 가능한 넓은 투시창 (viewing window) 및 맞춤형 베이스 플레이트가 특징입니다.
The TSA12Gi's sample chamber can accommodate 35mm petri dish specimens and glass slides up to 53mm x 78mm(optional). Dual thermoelectric modules heat and cool with electrical current only, eliminating the need for an expensive chiller or a supply of liquid nitrogen. TEC cooling is especially convenient compared to LN2 for performing long duration experiments at cold temperatures, as it simplifies the system set up, reduces operating costs, and requires much less maintenance.
Purge gas is pre-heated/cooled before entering the sample chamber for improved thermal performance. The cover lid windows are defrosted for low temperature operation, and ports are available for the user's own atmospheric sensors, e.g. CO2, humidity, etc. The viewing aperture can be a 40mm wide window or replaced with smaller windows for better thermal operation. In addition an inner lid is available for better thermal unifomty. The TSA12Gi base plate is removable and replaceable. It can be customized to fit a specific microscope stage.
TSA12Gi is an ideal solution for applications such as Cell Culture, Biology, and Thermal Microscopy for inverted microscopes.
