> Compact size, no stress to take space.

> Usable in CO2 incubator, for time-lapse imaging in culture condition.

> Equipped with 5M pixels color CMOS camera.

> Multiple samples can be taken by connecting multiple units. NEW

> A model for fluorescent imaging has appeared. NEW

Usable in CO2 incubator

Since CytoWatcher body is moisture-proof, it can take time-lapsed images of culture cells with cultured in a high humidity CO2 incubator. There is no need to introduce an expensive microscope stage culture system.

Compact microscope

As CytoWatcher is compact, it can be used in a limited space such as a laboratory bench or a clean bench. As it is easy to carry, you can take it to your work space and use it.

Just connect to PC with USB cable

CytoWatcher is used by connecting it to a Windows PC (option) with a USB 3.0 cable (power is supplied from the PC via USB). If you start the control software ImageSaverT (included as standard), you can see live cell images immediately. You can also save images and take time-lapse images easily.

Multiple units can be controlled by one PC New

Multiple CytoWatchers can be connected to one PC and used (up to 4) for simultaneous time-lapse imaging of multiple samples in parallel.

Fluorescent imaging New

The fluorescence imaging model is equipped with a blue LED light source and an excitation / emission filter, and supports green emitted fluorescent imaging such as GFP. It is possible to set it up in the CO2 incubator and combine it with bright field and fluorescence time-lapse imaging.
