| Easy installation |
| Chamlide magnetic chambers use a patented magnetic system that allow for quick and easy assembly. |
| |
| Very economical |
| Chamlide magnetic chambers are semi-permanent, replacing consumable culture-ware and |
| expensive coverslip-bottomed dishes. |
| |
| High resolution live cell imaging |
| Chamlide magnetic chambers use coverslips (thickness 0.15-0.20 mm), allowing for high resolution imaging. |
| |
| ▣ Why observation chamber with coverslip? |
According to Abbe's theory, the resolution of light microscope fully depends on the N.A. of the objective lens.
Therefore, for high resolution microscopy, it is absolutely required to use high N.A. objective lenses,
which unavoidably have very short working distance. The conventional plastic culture wares are not thin
enough to use with a high N.A. lens; thus, one should use a coverslip with a thickness in the range
of
0.15-0.20 mm. Besides, a coverslip does not emit auto-fluorescence and has an appropriate reflective
index (~1.515) for use with oil or water immersion objective lenses. |

| High resolution microscopy → High N.A. objective lems → Very short working distance → Use coverslip |

| ▣ Types of observation chambers |
|
| 1. Non-perfusion type semi-closed chambers |
|
 |
Non-perfusion type semi-closed chambers are basically required to control its temperature, CO₂ concentration and humidity in the
chamber inside.
Therefore, these not-perfusion type semi-closed chambers should
put into the incubator systems such as Chamlide TC , Chamlide WP
and Chamlide IC . |

- Chamlide CMM
- Chamlide PT
- Chamlide WC
- Chamlide Well-slide |
|
| |
| 2. Perfusion type closed chambers |
|
 |
Perfusion type closed chambers are for small volume perfusion.
Because the fresh medium perfuse into the chamber inside, these
chambers do not need to control of CO₂ concentration and humidity. However this chambers should maintain the temperature both the
chamber and the fresh medium using Heating plate and IHS-101
(fluidic inline heater). |

- Chamlide SC |
|
| |
| 3. Perfusion type opened chambers |
|
 |
Perfusion type opened chambers can use exterior manipulator or inject some solutions like chemical agents or drugs directly.
Because the fresh medium perfuse into the chamber inside,
these chambers do not need to control of CO₂ concentration
and humidity. However this chambers should maintain the
temperature both the
chamber and the fresh medium using Heating plate and IHS-101 (fluidic inline heater). |
