Overview
The TB-3 is available in two versions:
One main advantage of the Warner heating and cooling incubation system is the cooling of small volumes of medium directly on the microscope. Due to the design (water-cooled Peltier element) it is quite light-weight and works on fragile Z-stages as well. The official working range is 5 - 50 ° celsius. However, real 5 °C could never be reached on our side. In best case we got it down to 6,5 °C.
This manual gives some hints about its usage.
Requirements
- Warner Instruments TB-3 CCD Thermal Insert
- Prior NZ200CE NanoScan Z-stage - or different/custom-made insert for other stages
- OKO-LAB glass-bottom metal dish, model RA-35-18-2000-06 (recommended for best performance)
