Heating device HCS
The HCS stage micro-incubator is a microscope stage-mounted heating device designed to maintain physiological temperatures in culture chambers (35 mm Petri type) or ALA-compatible imaging chambers.
It is positioned directly on the microscope stage (Zeiss, Nikon, Leica, Olympus, etc.) and provides a uniform heat source around the sample.
Its design incorporates a heating ring, a feedback thermistor and magnetic or threaded fixings for accessories. Temperature control is provided via compatible controllers from the ALA range or other suitable controllers (12 V max, 2252 Ω return).
Heating device HCS features
- Heating only (no cooling function)
- Compatible with temperature controllers up to 12 V
- 2252 Ω feedback thermistor at 25 °C
- Heating ring consisting of two power resistors in parallel
- Direct mounting on standard microscope stages (Zeiss, Nikon, Leica, Olympus)
- Magnetic steel outer ring with threaded holes (11 × M-3 + 2 × M-4)
- Compatible with ALA-MS chambers (19 mm) or 35 mm Petri dishes
