What is an IncuScope?

IncuScope is a compact inverted fluorescence microscope that fits on a shelf inside an incubator or inside a hood. It has brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescence imaging capability with optional darkfield imaging. It can be either used with camera only or with a trinocular head attached to a camera. Thus it will be a stand-alone microscope to use on the bench or keep inside an incubator for video time-lapse imaging. This system can run on a laptop or desktop using USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 cable, allows capturing images, and controlling the LEDs. It has several options of objective lenses (from 2x to 150x) and fluorescent filters (from UV to IR). The IncuScope is the most simple and affordable live cell imaging device in the market.

Applications

When you need to have  a complete access of a biological microscope inside an incubator, IncuScope is a perfect choice.  If you need to monitor your cells under microscope in hypoxy conditions and do not like to spend $25,000 for a miniature incubator / heating stage to add to your microscope, IncuScope IS250 will do the job you need. Some examples of IncuScope Applications are (but not limited to):

  • Cell Proliferation and confluency study
  • Cell growth, death and differentiation kinetics
  • Cell Counting
  • Cell Migration and wound healing
  • Cell Cycle
  • Stem cells development
  • Cancer Cells
  • Microfluidics study
  • Hypoxy Condition

Why IncuScope IS250? Why is it better than the other similar products?

The IncuScope IS250 series has several advantages over the competitors such as:

  • Price: it has the lowest price of the incubator microscope in the market while its image quality and performance stay superior. For instance:
    • Lumascope 560 series with BF and FL imaging, single obj lens costs $7,500 USD, plus XY stage for $750 and each sample holder at $130. If you need phase contrast, add another $3,350 for single obj lens.
    • EVOS, with similar package starts at $18,000
    • Juli with similar package starts at$ 25,000
  • Image quality talks. You compare it to believe.
  • Flexibility in design: This incubator microscope has the most diverse flexible design. You can select any combination of camera and c-mount adapter, and any fluorescence filter design.
  • Unique Feature: darkfield, polarization imaging is possible. The other incubator products can not offer this.

Incuscope IS250 Incubator Microscope

with 10x, 25x and 40x Phase Contrast and Fluorescence Objective Lenses

1. Observation System

a) Camera: several combinations of cameras and c-mount adapters can be used. A camera with 1/2″ sensor is combined with a 0.5x C-mount adapter for maximum field of view or a 1x c-mount adapter to make the total magnifications double.

b) Trincoular Head: single diopter adjustment, 30 degree inclined, comfortable and great looking. Includes the default 10x eyepieces with field number 20mm. It also has a lever to switch to camera with 100% transmission, excellent choice for fluorescence imaging without loosing any signal.

2. Mechanical Moving Stage

A compact design double layer mechanical stage, with holders of 35mm petri-dish, 55mm petri-dish, glass slide, T-25 flask, etc.

3. Illumination System

A high-power LED lamp is mounted inside the lamphouse serving for uniform light distribution and over 20,000 hours lifetime. Spatial positions can be adjusted easily. It has a collecting lens, field diaphragm or shutter.

4. Condenser System

Plug-in Phase Contrast condenser with 30mm working distance. Optional, WD: 50mm and 72mm.

5. Phase Contrast Observation

* Suitable only for brightfield and phase contrast-imaging.

**: C: Color, GS: Global Shutter, M: Monochrome

When we have two LEDs then software captures 5 images at every time point:

1) phase contrast (or brightfield), Monochrome

2) phase contrast (or brightfield), pseudo-color (like white or slightly grey if you pick)

3) Fluorescence image, monochrome

4) fluorescence image, pseudo-color (like green fro GFP)

5) merged color images (image #2 +image #4)
