Biostation IM

Automated Time Lapse studies

The Biostation IM combines an incubator, a microscope and a cooled CCD camera in a compact body, allowing sophisticated time-lapse imaging, which until now has only been achieved with a complex system. As all the elements necessary for cell culture and imaging are incorporated into one package, the Biostation IM provides very stable environmental conditions for cell development and tracking. Focus drift caused by thermal change and mechanical instability, a common problem during lengthy observations, has been eliminated, enabling reliable time-lapse imaging in an optimal live cell environment.

The software interface is easy to use. You only need select your cell area of interest and select magnification. You then have the option of tracking your cells in phase contrast or fluorescence, or both.  By having such a unit, it frees up other research equipment for numerous experiments. Contact us for a demonstration of this system. Once you have seen it, you won't want us to take it back!
