The RC-30 is a low profile chamber with special features for confocal imaging. The chamber bath has a variable volume and fast exchange and is formed with a silicone gasket sandwiched between the top and bottom cover slips. Pre-cut 250 µm thick gasket forms are supplied; one wide cut to use the full aperture window (17.7 mm D), and a slotted version for faster solution exchange. Blank gasket forms are also supplied permitting customized bath shape required for the application. Gaskets with 375 µm thickness are also available. The bath has a large viewing area with an aperture of 17.7 mm D. The chamber bottom is beveled to permit maximum access to the bottom coverslip. The chamber is reversible and may be mounted in the stage adapter to accommodate both upright and inverted microscopes. The RC-30HV is an optional heater version, which includes a pair of resistive heaters mounted to the chamber base. Heaters are compatible with Warner TC324B / TC344B Heater Controllers.
These Confocal Imaging Chambers are supplied with six pre-cut 250 µm thick gaskets, two large baths (133 µl volume), two slotted baths (25.6 µl volume), two blank for customized coverslips (22 x 30 mm #1 and 22 x 40 mm #1), pkg. of 50 each, and PE-90 Tubing (3.3 m).
