Incubator on TOKAI HIT STXG/STXF stage for LEICA microscope

The STXG (with integrated CO₂ mixer) and STXF (for premixed gas) models from Tokai Hit are turntable incubators designed for Leica microscopes. They ensure that temperature, CO₂ and humidity are maintained around the sample during long-term imaging. They are perfectly compatible with Leica stages (DMIWX, Thunder Imager, etc.) and allow fast and stable installation with high NA objectives.

Features of TOKAI HIT STXG/STXF for LEICA microscope

  • Multi-point PID control: sample, heating glass, stage, bath, objective
  • Stable temperature for over 14 days
  • Uniform heating with humidity > 90% generated by heating bath
  • Quick set-up in 15 minutes, compatible with Leica DMIWX, Super Z galvo, Thunder Imager
  • Compatible chambers: WSKMX, GSI2X, DMIWX
