PH Series Heated Platforms

for Series 20 bath chambers (Warner)
Description

Anodized aluminum platforms provide clamping between our Series 20 chambers and their bottom glass coverslips to create a water tight seal between the chamber and its bottom glass coverslip.

  • Black anodized aluminum provides good heat conductivity and low stray light reflectance.
  • A small hole drilled along platform edge for placement of T1 feedback control thermistor.
  • Each Series 20 Platform is compatible with all Series 20 Microscope Stage Adapters.
  • Earlier versions of platforms without heating elements can be upgraded.

Platforms are machined from aluminum and finished with a black anodize. This provides excellent heat conductivity and minimizes stray light reflectance. Sliding clamps used on most models permit easy removal of the chamber to change its coverslip. The PH-2 Platform uses a one piece clamp secured with 4 screws, while all other models use two clamps with 2 screws each (i.e. 4 total).

The platforms, wich all are heated, have a pair of 10 Ω resistive elements attached.  Control of platform heating is provided by one of our temperature controllers (e.g., TC-344C or TC-324C). Connection to the power source can be made using a cable assembly (e.g. CC-28).

Warner Instrument Series PH platforms are designed to fit the Zeiss 76×26 microscope slide frame (#471719) without the use of a stage adapter. Series PM platforms require a stage adapter. In general, all heater platforms require an insulating material between the platform and frame.
