Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences CytoSoftR Imaging 96-Well
The rigidity of the cells substrate (such as the extracellular matrix) can have profound effect on cell function including morphology differentiation and gene expression. Youngs elastic modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material. It defines the relationship between stress and strain in a material and is measured in kPa.CytoSoft(R) plates provide a tool to culture cells on substrates with defined rigidities covering a broad physiological range (0.2 kPa- 64 kPa). On the bottom of each well there is a thin layer of specially formulated biocompatible silicone whose elastic modulus (rigidity) is carefully measured and certified. The surfaces of the gels are functionalized to form covalent bonds with amines on proteins. The gel readily binds to purified ECM proteins such as PureCol type I collagen (5006) prior to cell addition. CytoSoft(R) Imaging plates are designed for high-reSOLUTIONon imaging where low autofluorescence andexceptional optical cl
Molecular Devices Confocal Disk Module, Deep Tissue Geometry, Spinning Disk
The Molecular Devices Deep Tissue Confocal Disk is a spinning-disk confocal module engineered to improve imaging quality from thick, three-dimensional biological samples. Its specialized disk geometry suppresses out-of-focus light and reduces haze, enabling deeper penetration and clearer volumetric imaging in high-content workflows.
- Improves suppression of out-of-focus light for clearer images.
- Reduces haze and pinhole crosstalk in thick samples.
- Enables deeper penetration into 3D tissue and organoid samples.
- Optimized disk geometry for high-content confocal imaging workflows.
- Designed for integration with automated high-throughput imaging systems.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Applied Physics LaB6 Cathode for ISI / Topcon
Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) and cerium hexaboride (CeB6) cathodes are ideal for many small spot size applications such as SEM, TEM, surface analysis and metrology, and for high current applications such as microwave tubes, lithography, electron-beam welders, X-ray sources and free electron lasers. Greater brightness from low work function yielding higher currents at lower temps than tungsten.
