Premium digital microscope for live imaging, scanning and real-time diagnostics of multiple slides

The CM20 system provides quantitative data remotely - place the head and your cell cultures in the incubator, and the system will periodically scan it, count the number of cells, and determine confluency. The data are wirelessly communicated to a PC or a tablet through an optional router, so you can monitor your cultures' progress without entering a clean room.

Easy setup directly on your microscope: perform live cell imaging in dishes, slides, or multiwell plates. The ibidi Stage Top Incubation Systems fit every standard inverted microscope and include CO 2 and O 2 control as well as actively controlled humidity. They are ideal for all live cell imaging applications and available for single slides and dishes as well as for multiwell plates.

Use this versatile 35 mm imaging Dish for high-end microscopy through the #1.5 coverslip bottom.

Use this Multiwell plate with black walls, square wells, and a flat and clear coverslip bottom (#1.5 ibidi Polymer Coverslip) for high-throughput applications in cell-based assays. Also available with 24 wells.

Use this channel microscopy slide with a coverslip bottom (#1.5 ibidi Polymer or #1.5H glass) for immunofluorescence, cell culture under flow, live cell imaging, and high resolution microscopy on inverted microscopes. Available in various channel heights.

Use these silicone inserts with a defined cell-free gap for wound healing assays, migration assays, 2D invasion assays, and co-cultivation of cells. Available with 2, 3, or 4 wells.

Use this slide to investigate angiogenesis in tube formation assays. Also ideal for 3D cell culture and immunofluorescence staining. Also available in a 96 well format.

Investigate chemotaxis of fast or slow migrating adherent cells and non-adherent cells in 2D or 3D gel matrices.

Fluorescent dyes, probes, and biosensors for live cell imaging.

High-Performance Microscope Objectives

The Organoid Analysis Module for the CytoSMART Omni systems is an advanced machine-learning algorithm for robust organoid quantification, tracking, and analysis. 

The Orion Platform delivers spatial biology and cellular phenotyping at a speed and resolution needed for translation from research to the clinic. It utilizes single round immunofluorescence staining and imaging of standard FFPE or fresh frozen tissue to deliver subcellular quantitation of biomarker targets across a whole slide in only a few hours. Combining speed and resolution with the additional benefits of industry-stan…

CyteFinder II Instruments are high speed, whole slide imaging systems with options for liquid biopsy analysis and multiplexed tissue imaging. Choose between the CyteFinder II with CytePicker® module for single cell or tissue micro-region retrieval, or the CyteFinder II HT for unattended scanning up to 80 slides at a time.  High speed, multi-channel systems optimized for rare-cell detection and analysis  Integrated m…

The Thermo Scientific™ Nicolet™ RaptIR+™ FTIR Microscope offers precision and agility to help streamline sample analysis by quickly generating actionable results. Homing in on the intricacies of a sample to find the answer you need is often a lengthy and difficult process. Any amount of time saved while searching for the solution makes a world of difference in delivering results.

The AIRsight Infrared/Raman Microscope is a unique microscope that combines both infrared and Raman spectroscopy into a single instrument, offering complementary molecular information. This system can be connected to Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometers including the IRTracer-100, the IRXross, and the IRAffinity-1series.​  The AIRsight significantly enhances analytical efficiency by streamlining all process…

Cell membrane-impermeant, nuclear-specific counterstains. Suitable for fixed cells or staining dead cells in live cultures. Available in a variety of colors from green to near-infrared (near-IR).

This unique reagent quenches lipofuscin autofluorescence in tissue sections for immunofluorescence staining and can also help to reduce autofluorescence from other sources like extracellular matrix.

A buffer set that blocks non-specific antibody binding as well as direct interaction of fluorescent dyes on antibodies with cells or tissue sections.
