Extended Live Cell Imaging
Image your live cells as long as you need. Limit cell damages caused by fluorescent markers, bleaching and phototoxicity.
Long-term imaging (11 hrs) of mouse pre-adipocytes. Mitochondria were labeled with mitTracker. A holotomographic image was taken every 15 seconds and a fluorescence image every 5 minutes.
Live FUCCI mESC imaged for over 48 hours
The video shows live FUCCI mESC that were imaged for over 48 hours with Nanolive’s 3D Cell Explorer-fluo. A holotomographic image was taken every 14 seconds while a double channel (green and red) epifluorescence image was only taken every 30 holotomographic frames (7:30 minutes). The difference in acquisition rate was performed to reduce fluorescence related phototoxicity.
*Please note that the latest fluorescence image is displayed over the following 30 holotomographic images until a new one is acquired, for visualization purpose. The mismatch between the two signals is due to this image processing choice.

The Nanolive Top Stage Incubator
An okolab and Nanolive solution for live cell imaging
Top-Stage Incubator: Temperature; Humidity and CO2 (Manual mixing or Premixed)
This top-stage incubator ensures the highest temperature accuracy on sample temperature by controlling simultaneously up to 6 independent channels with a modern multichannel controller.
The system allows temperature, humidity and CO2 conditioning in a very user friendly manner.
The controller is equipped with an on-board memory for data logging and a mini-USB port for data download.
Nanolive 3D Cell Explorer-fluo is also compatible with the ibidi top-stage incubator. For more information follow this link: https://www.nanolive.ch/compatible-equipment/
