Extremely Compact!
W120, H305, D200
Characteristics
Best tool for monitoring transparent samples such as cells and bacteria.
Very easy to set up the gCell culturing monitor/record systemh.
Featuring optical ZOOM
Large work space above the x-y stage, making it feasible to observe samples kept in dishes and flasks.
Recordable as movies, still images, and time-lapse images.
Basic Usage
1. Analog monitoring and recording
2. Digital monitoring and recording
Cellwatcher ZOOM
As "Cell culture monitoring/recording system"
Combining Cellwatcher with our gCulturePal (5% CO2 generator)h and the temperature controller, you can monitor and record the cultured LIVE cell very easily.

Comparing to the conventional gCell Culture Monitoring Systemh which needed CO2 gas cylinder, our new system is;
1) Extremely low cost
2) Easy set-up
3) No need for the gas cylinder
4) Less contamination
5) Stable temperature
