Thermal Stage MHCS120i for Inverted Microscopes

MicrOptik’s Thermal Stage MHCS120i provides cooling up to -20°C without liquid Nitrogen cooling system or refrigerated circulators. This feature makes system more simple and cost effective. Furthermore the usage of Thermoelectric Cooling Technology makes MHCS120i as a convenient system for continuously usage during long experiments. The compact and simple design allows the stage to be positioned on any XY table, allowing the user to carry out all sorts of experiments in the most convenient manner.
