The Cytostretcher-LV can be used to perform stretching experiments on an optical microscope.
Image live cells during your stretch routines. The Cytostretcher-LV and Cytostretcher Chambers are compatible with transmitted light and high-NA fluorescence microscopy, including immersion objectives.
Maintain Focus While StretchingThe Cytostretcher-LV is the only cell mechanical stimulation system that enables consistent sample focus during stretch.
Universal Mounting Frame KAllows for broad compatibility with many industry standard microscopes and stages. Other mount options are available upon request.
Configure up to six 5 mm x 5mm wells or one 12mm x 12mm well:
The Cytostretcher-LV is compatible with an optional Environmental Control Unit (ECU) for microscope stage-top incubation. The ECU provides complete control of biological culture conditions, including temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration.
