Nikon's new BioStation incubator imaging systems take live cell imaging to new levels of sophistication by providing consistent environmental control of temperature, humidity and gas concentration when managing, observing and recording cell growth, morphology, and protein expression in culture. The BioStation CT is a self contained, automated system that allows users to manage and observe multiple live cell imaging studies locally or by remote operation over a public or private network. The BioStation IM is a compact cell incubation and monitoring device that allows users with minimal microscopy experience to conduct single live cell time lapse imaging studies under perfectly controlled environmental conditions.
