Introduction

EzScope 101 enables microscope-in-incubator to live view for real-time cell monitoring, migration, growth, and invasion, plus a wide range of phenotypic cell-based assays.

Sample: Human Ovarian Cancer Cell (HM-4)
Description: The time-lapse video shows the formation of a 3D spheroid by using a self-made suspended tumorspheroid chip.
Similar Applications: Cell migration, wound healing, cell confluence studies

Sample: Cardiac Muscle cell
Description: The time-lapse video clip of differentiated cardiac muscle stem cells reveals a beating feature.
Similar Applications: All kind of stem cell related research

Sample: Cardiac Muscle cell
Description: The effect of different gelatin concentrations on cell growth.
Similar Applications: All kind of stem cell related research

Incubator Live View
Designed to be used inside the incubator, without the need to remove your cells from incubator to enhance culture quality control.

Minimizes Experimental Variations
Up to four units of EzScope can to be setup in the same incubator and controlled by one computer. This enables the monitoring of samples simultaneously, reduces errors caused by environment variations.

Exceptional Image Quality
Adopts high contract brightfield optical configuration, coupled with precise motorized focusing, and two interchangeable magnifying objective lenses.

Remote Monitoring of Experiment
Allows flexible remote monitoring the assay via Windows-based remote desktop software.

Easy Image Editor
Captures and edits images easily with EzCapture software:

● Live preview for up to 4 units of EzScope

● Capture single image or time-lapse series

● Flatfielding correction for even brightfield background

● Time-lapse video output

● Spatial calibration

● Measure and convergence analysis
