This microscope stage adapter provides flexible working area for positioning accessories required for high resolution live sample imaging and recording: from media exchange and test solution delivery tubing, to sensors and electrodes. Specially treated stainless magnetic surface provides ideal means to mount miniature adjustable magnetic holders. Incorporates adjustable clamps to fix all brands of 35 mm Petri dishes and chambers, glass bottom dishes (both 35 and 50 mm), and heating stages
Adapters for all brands of microscopes, including motorized stages, are available. They are constructed by attaching either 108 mm round or rectangular stainless steel magnetic plate to the top of appropriate IMA-74-type insert

Adjustable Magnetic Holders Set, MA-MTH
Simplified set of three miniature magnetic holders to configure solution exchange lines, electrodes, sensors, and even glass micropipettes around your sample. Includes adjustable stainless steel suction tubing for perfusion chambers, adjustable holder with miniature ball-joint to fix inflow tubing and manifolds of solution application systems, and a double clamp to fix tubing, sensors, electrodes or glass pipettes. The miniature holders were designed not to obstruct optical path
Adapters, reducing rings, for Petri dishes, TC-PA
For different brands of 35 mm dishes. Since different brands have different diameter, a reducing ring is recommended to center the dish inside the microscope adapter. Select the appropriate adapter from the table below. If your brand of the dish is not listed, we might be able to find the right adapter if you send us a sample of the dish
Adapter, reducing ring, for Easy-grip Petri dishes from BD, PA-EG
For BD easy-grip brand of 35 mm dishes. Since the actual diameter of these dishes is more than 38 mm, a reducing ring is recommended to center the dish inside the microscope stage

Microscope Adapter, IMA-128x86 (mm)
This basic adapter goes in place for standard multi-well plates to fit on most mechanical and motorized microscope stages. It can be used with heating elements, glass bottom (35 / 50 mm) and regular Petri dishes, as well as coverslip holders and cover glasses. Miniature screw-type holders can be attached directly to the surface to fix perfusion tubing, electrodes, and sensors. Includes fixing clamps and thumb screws, plus the reducing ring for 35 mm dishes.
This plate is also used to make IMA-type adapters for microscopes with different stages by attaching to an appropriate IMA-74-type insert to the bottom. For motorized stages and type K stages, IMA-128x86 plate goes inside IMA-motor insert. You can form imaging and perfusion chambers directly on the surface of standard microscope glass slides or rectangular 25x60 mm coverslips and position the chamber on an upright or inverted microscope using this adapter.
Specifications:
Inside opening: 50 mm, & 76x26 mm
Reducing Ring and Clamps: to fit and hold all brands of 35 mm dishes (including glass bottom dishes)
Thickness: 3 mm
Use with: 35 mm dishes, CSC coverslip chambers, 50 mm dishes, glass slides, and heating elements
