Bioptechs FCS3 Zeiss A Stage Adapter

Description

The Bioptechs’ Focht Chamber System 3 (FCS3®) is a redesign of the popular FCS2 optimized for use on an upright microscope. The FCS2® uses the same, microaqueduct slide, gaskets, and, coverslips as the inverted model. Therefore, it has all of the same operating characteristics as its predecessor. The main difference, in the upright version, is that the coverslip portion of the optical cavity is oriented upward toward the objective*. As an added benefit, the upright version uses a universal stage adapter to fit all upright microscopes. By simply replacing the specimen carrier with the upright FCS3® interface plate, any upright microscope can become a multi-functional live-cell workstation. The Upright FCS3® provides all the functionality of the inverted model (FCS2®) including:

• Microaqueduct design enables proper Koehler illumination with high numeric aperture optics for both transmitted and reflected modes of microscopy
• Suitable for no flow, through high flow rate procedures where a rapid exchange of media is required and discrete control of cell surface shear is adjustable
• Cell temperature can be controlled from ambient to 50°C ± 0.2°C without the need for an air curtain
• Temperature is controlled uniformly across entire field with media equilibrating as it enters the chamber
• Closed system so that CO2 dependent media can be employed
• Compatible with 1/16” tubing for perfusion
• Easily assembled with ordinary skill (no tools required)
• A stand-alone temperature controller with an audible alarm and interrupt circuit to safeguard your cells
• Objective Heater and Objective Temperature Controller required for high numeric aperture applications
• Includes the capibility to interface to a computer for temperature programming and/or chart recorder output
• Fits most Leica, Nikon, Olympus & Zeiss upright microscopes (custom stage adapaters available)
