The ATC2000 is a low noise heating system for maintaining animal body temperature during expirimental procedures. Here we show you how to use the adaptive mode on the ATC2000 system.

1. Press the Config button to access the configuration menu. Press the Config button again until the adaptive mode Enable displays.

The ATC2000 is a low noise heating system for maintaining animal body temperature during experimental procedures. The ATC2000 uses a digital PID controller to regulate the application of power to the heating plate to achieve the desired temperature at the monitored sensor. PID stands for Proportional, Integral and Differential. Here’s how PID control works:

Adjustable Height/Working Distance

WPI's 3D SpectaSCOPE™ Inspection Scope is a true 3D digital stereo optical scope with a host of innovative patent-pending features.

It all starts with the fully optical zoom system, which is sending the smallest details to its two powerful HD 5MP cameras. The images are then transmitted at full speed frame rates to the on-board HD screens, giving you a true three-dimensional image. You choose the most comfortable position for the viewer’s tilting headset. 

The 3D SpectaSCOPE™ is easy to set up. Here we show you how to adjust the height and working distance of the 3D SpectaSCOPE™.

WPI’s 3D SpectaSCOPE™ Inspection Scope is a revolutionary advancement for detailed visual inspection with a host of patent-pending features, including: 

• A self-zooming scope and ergonomically designed head to offer you faster inspections, less fatigue and greater accuracy. 
  Self-focus that employs sophisticated computer algorithms and a large depth of field so your subject remains in focus (even when the working distance changes). 

WPI'S EVOM™ AutoLCI is an automated live cell imaging system that is equipped with an advanced fluorescence and bright field microscopy, autofocusing and real time multi-position imaging technology. It provides you all the tools you need to acquire the best quality images and accurate research results. Various cell-based research work and applications can be done with this all-around system.

Importance of Live Cell Imaging

Starting with the discoveries of microscopes in the 16th centuries, there have been endless desires to peer into objects that cannot be seen by the naked eye. With the development of technology and the introduction of live cell imaging, it has transformed the way researchers study cells, tissues, proteins and other cellular interactions. Live cell imaging (LCI) has became a basic analytical tool in the study of life science. Compared to studying captured images of fixed...more

This video shows how to setup the heavy boom microscope stand (502004), which can be used with a PZMIII or PZMIV microscope head. The PZMIII and PZMIV require the 502009 76mm focus mount. The setup of the 505606 heavy boom stand is identical. The 505606 uses the 505610 focus mount that is designed for use with the Enhanced Reality Macroscope. The focus mounts are sold separately.

The PSMB5N Surgical Microscope has a motorized focusing system that allows for hands free operation. It is lightweight, compact and easy to maneuver. Dual bulbs prevent illumination failure during surgery. It has an optional video adapter and five magnification steps. This video shows you how to assemble your microscope.

Safety is a primary concern when setting up equipment. Here are a few pointers.

• This setup requires open space to work in.
• Be sure to remove the packing materials as soon as you unpack your boxes.
• Watch your hands when you are using a box cutter.
• The articulating arm is spring loaded. Be sure to release the tension on it in a controlled manner.
• Be sure to remove all parts from the boxes before you throw the...more
