New Petri Dish Holder and Heater

Asylum Research introduces an enhanced accessory for its MFP-3D AFMs. The Petri Dish Heater is designed for studies of living and fixed cells and other biological studies. The dish complements the growing suite of environmental control products for the Atomic Force Microscope platform, which also includes the BioHeater and the Closed Fluid Cell. Shown is a phase contrast optical image of an AFM cantilever positioned over a cell (left, inset box) and 3D rendering of the AFM amplitude channel (right). The image was acquired in culture medium using AC mode, 80 µm scan.
