Microscope Stage Chambers

Microscope stage chambers designed for use on upright or inverted microscope stages, in submerged or interface types, MS5 is also for cultured preparations on cover slips, and MC is the new concept of submerged slice chamber with dual surface perfusion and worked on both kinds of microscopes.

Microscope Stage Chambers Overview

Upright Microscope

Submerged type

MS1

Submerged slice preparations on upright microscope stages with easy objective or microelectrode access

MS2

Submerged slices with media access on both slice faces for stable electrophysiology and pharmacology

MC

Submerged, enhanced dual surface perfusion of slices for patch clamp experiments

Interface type

MS3

Interface slice preparations on upright microscopes

Inverted Microscope

Submerged type

MS4

Submerged slicesĀ 

MC

MC is designed to work under both Upright and Inverted Microscope stages

For slice or cultured preps on cover slips

MS5

Submerged, for both slice or cultured preparations on cover slips

Stainless steel framed fine nylon grids for slice stabilization

Sintered Ag-AgCl pellet electrodes to enhance and stabilize the recordings

Ceramic air stone provides a steady stream of fine gas bubbles to oxygenate your samples efficiently
