Heating Element with 15mm clearance, TC-E35x15

Fits 35mm dishes. The whole bottom is heated to eliminate temperature gradient, which makes it ideal for petri dishes, including glass bottom dishes. Wide 15mm optical clearance to access your sample with immersion optics from the bottom. Built-in temperature sensor.  Since some brands of petri dishes have different diameter, reducing adapters TC-PA might be required. Incorporates PTFE  perfusion tubing, which makes the element to work as inline preheater. Requires a microscope adapters with 50mm mounting opening. Requires a temperature controller. This element is a part of TC-PD-35x15 heating stages. Click on image to enlarge. If wider clearance is required, use TC-E35 with 35mm clearance. 

Heating Element with 11m clearance, TC-E35x11

Fits 35mm dishes. The whole bottom is heated to eliminate temperature gradient, which makes it ideal for petri dishes, including glass bottom dishes with small optical clearance. Wide 11mm optical clearance to access your sample with immersion optics from the bottom. Built-in temperature sensor. Since some brands of petri dishes have different diameter, reducing adapters TC-PA might be required. Incorporates PTFE perfusion tubing, which makes the element to work as inline preheater. Requires a microscope adapters with 50mm mounting opening. Requires a temperature controller. This element is a part of TC-PD-35x11 heating stages. If wider clearance is required, use TC-E35 with 35mm clearance. Click on image to enlarge.

Heating Element with 40mm clearance, TC-E50x40

Fits 50mm dishes and chambers. The bottom has 40mm optical clearance, which makes it ideal for 50x40 glass bottom dishes. Wide 40mm optical clearance allows you to access your sample with immersion optics from the bottom. Built-in temperature sensor. Incorporates PTFE perfusion tubing, which makes the element to work as inline preheater. Requires a microscope adapters with 74mm mounting opening. Requires a temperature controller. This element is a part of TC-PD-50x40 heating stages.

Heating Element with 30mm clearance, TC-E50x30

Fits 50mm dishes. The whole bottom is heated to eliminate temperature gradient, which makes it ideal for 50x30 glass bottom dishes. Wide 30mm optical clearance to access your sample with immersion optics from the bottom. Built-in temperature sensor. Incorporates PTFE perfusion tubing, which makes the element to work as inline preheater. Requires a microscope adapters with 74mm mounting opening. Requires a temperature controller. This element is a part of TC-PD-50x30 heating stages.
