Bioptechs Environmental Control
Closed Chamber Systems
Closed systems are used when the experiment requires that the specimen be contained in a completely air tight environment or the optical constraints of the microscope dictate a more precise definition of optical surfaces. The following section offers integrated solutions for closed-system micro-environmental control. All of these systems are optically compatible with nearly all modes of light microscopy, have near laminar flow, and user definable volume and flow characteristics. Models available for both upright and inverted microscopes.
Bioptechs FCS3® Closed Chamber System for upright microscope
Bioptechs FCS2® Closed Chamber System for inverted microscope
Bioptechs CFCS2 Cooled Closed Chamber System for upright microscope
Open Dish System
An open dish can be used when you need to have physical access to cells or tissue for such applications as microinjection, electrostimulation, wounding, micromanipulation, use of mechanical probes, recording, and stimulation.
An open system may offer the most economical, convenient, and accurate micro-observation method for your application providing an open-fluid surface is acceptable.

Objective Heating System
When using lenses with high numeric aperture, heat is lost very rapidly from the specimen through the optical medium providing coupling to the objective (the oil or water). Control of the objective temperature eliminates this problem.

Perfusion Devices
Bioptechs perfusion products address the specific fluidic requirements for doing time-lapse imaging of live cells.
