Electron Microscopy Sciences Membrane For Cell Stretcher

Electron Microscopy Sciences Cell stretcher cs-10 series cell strain device makes it possible to perform life cell imaging studies where a rapid image acquisition is required when cells are mechanically stimulated. A big advantage of this cell strain device is its stretching chamber, which allows to use commercially available pdms sheets. The sheets are transparent and as a consequence it is possible to perform regular bright field as well as epifluorescence microscopy with an inverted microscope. The commercially available pdms substrates are thin enough to use oil immersion objectives. The cell strain device runs on a small laptop or net book which enable use on any microscope. The device can also be used without the microscope. - EMS
