Imaging dishes, plates

Microscopy imaging dishes, also known as cell culture dishes, are transparent plastic or glass containers used for observing cells and tissues under a microscope. These dishes are designed to provide a sterile and controlled environment for cell growth and observation, and come in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit different types of microscopes and applications.

Some features of microscopy imaging dishes include:

  1. Material: Imaging dishes are made from different materials, including polystyrene, glass, and specialized plastics that are biocompatible and non-toxic to cells.
  2. Coating: Some imaging dishes are coated with extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagen or fibronectin, to promote cell adhesion and growth.
  3. Size and shape: Imaging dishes come in various sizes and shapes, including round, square, rectangular, and well plates, to fit different types of microscopes and applications.
  4. Lid: Many imaging dishes come with a lid to prevent contamination and maintain a controlled environment for cell growth.
  5. Compatibility: It is important to select microscopy imaging dishes that are compatible with the microscope being used, as well as any additional imaging or cell analysis equipment.

When selecting microscopy imaging dishes, it is important to consider factors such as the type of cells being observed, the imaging technique being used, and any additional experimental requirements, such as temperature or gas control. Choosing the appropriate imaging dish can help ensure optimal cell growth and imaging quality.
