The new ZEISS Incubation System consists of a series of stackable components that allow the efficient and independent control of temperature, humidity, and pH, CO2 and O2 concentration. The modular design of the system is easy to set-up, permitting flexible expansion and future upgrades.
The environmental parameters are easily and precisely controlled with ZEISS AxioVision software, and all actual incubation parameters are recorded and saved with the image files. The tight integration with AxioVision software permits complex and heterogeneous experiments involving temperature gradient experiments and the observation and recording of cell modulation.
The ZEISS Incubation System accurately measures and controls the temperature where it matters most– in close proximity of the specimen. Carl Zeiss MicroImaging has developed thermally-insulated objectives and objective heaters to provide optimized temperature conditions at the sample location, especially during dynamic temperature experiments. Because the objective does not act as a heat sink, the ZEISS Incubation System significantly reduces the mass of material that must be heated or cooled.
In immersion applications, ZEISS objective heaters and temperable objective rings effectively maintain the temperature of the specimen and the thermal equilibrium between specimen and objective, ensuring good image focus and reproducible experiments.
