| Liquid forming in the incubation chamber This happens when the mixed-gas humidifier is overfilled. Bubbles created by the gas going through the humidifier can bring liquid into the gas feed line. - Turn off the Okolab module
- Remove your sample and store it properly
- Dry the incubation chamber with a clean tissue
- Carefully remove the cap of the humidifier glass bottle
Warning |
---|
Pay extra care when manipulating the humidifier bottle as it is made of glass and is very fragile |
- Remove distilled water from the humidifier
Info |
---|
Humidifier shouldn't be more than 2/3rd filled |
- Close the humidifier by replacing the cap
- Turn on the Okolab module

| Can I use this microscope to look at cell in a dish? - Yes. This is an inverted microscope designed to look at specimen in a dish or a multi-well plate
- The objectives are optimized to image through thin glass bottom multi-well plates
- You may also image specimen mounted between a slide and a 0.17mm thick coverslip
