Experimental Examples
Spheroid of human intestinal fibroblasts and outgrowth endothelial cells sprouting in a fibrin hydrogel, cultured in an ibidi µ-Slide 4 Well. Endothelial cells were stained with CD31 (yellow), fibroblasts with vimentin (red), and DNA with DAPI (cyan). This image was acquired using a Leica TCS SP5 II confocal laser scanning microscope with a 10x objective.

Meniscus-Free Phase Contrast Microscopy
µ-Slide 4 Well | µ-Slide 4 Well Ph+ |

The µ-Slide 4 Well Ph+ (Phase Contrast +) is designed for excellent optical quality, especially for cell culture when normal phase contrast microscopy is being used. Opposed to the classic µ-Slide 4 Well, the Ph+ version provides a special intermediate plate in the center of the well. This plate flattens the meniscus that disturbs the phase contrast effect in normal open wells. Openings near the corners provide access to the wells for easy filling and aspiration of liquids.
This innovative technique supports meniscus-free phase contrast microscopy in a very convenient manner.
Working with the µ-Slide 4 Well Ph+ diminishes the meniscus and increases the area of well contrasted cells
The illustration on the left shows the perturbing effect of a meniscus. Light is refracted on the air-water-interface, leading to poor contrast in microscopy. Only the small center part exhibits satisfying phase contrast.
Working with the µ-Slide 4 Well Ph+ diminishes the meniscus and increases the area of nicely contrasted cells. This nice contrast is due to the parallel beam path that is created by the plate.
