BioStation IM-Q Cell Incubator

The Nikon BioStation IM-Q is a compact cell incubator and monitoring system that allows users with minimal microscopy experience to conduct live cell imaging without a steep learning curve. The BioStation IM-Q time-lapse imaging system facilitates a broad array of short-term and long-term time-lapse experiments, including studies of cell growth, morphology, and protein expression, by providing consistent environmental control of temperature, humidity, and gas concentration in combination with phase and fluorescence imaging of exceptional quality. It incorporates a microscope, an incubator, and a high-sensitivity cooled CCD camera. This all-in-one package provides a stable environment for live cells and advanced solutions for simple long-term time-lapse data acquisition. Perfusion capabilities further expand experimental possibilities.
