Traditional Stage Warming

Traditionally, when specimens needed to be warmed on a microscope stage, the method used was peripheral heating the region surrounding the specimen, and allow radiation to warm the specimen. This method is not as precise or as fast as the first-surface conductive method but it may be appropriate in some cases. 

Peripheral warming is a simple technique requiring a temperature controller and a metal stage adapter plate. The Bioptechs Temperature Controller is easily modified for various thermal loads, therefore all that needs to be done is to custom machine a warming plate to your specifications.

By combining a standard controller with modified circuitry and a custom stage adapter you can have a peripheral temperature device at a fraction of the cost.

 

Bioptechs Temperature Control Circuitry

Bioptechs owns a machine shop that can quickly and economically machine a custom stage adapter or other items specifically to your needs. Production items are made by CNC equipment, specialty items are conventionally machined.

The Bioptechs control circuitry uses an auto ranging feature that can be easily customized to control many loads.  The controller features two separate channels, an out of range alarm and shut-down safety system, compatibility with 100-260 Volt AC power sources as well as battery operation, user adjustable calibration, real time temperature display and a one year warranty.
