Applications

Microscope applications

A wide range of applications appeared after the introduction of the first magnificent inverted- confocal microscopes. 
And long before the rise of the confocal microscope, many applications already used the Glass Bottom Dishes, including 
High Magnification (with high N.A.), Phase Contrast and DIC.

Applications

• Live Cell Microscopy
• Multi-Photon Laser Scanning Microscopy (MPLSM)
• High Level Laser Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging
• Microscopy (FLIM)
• Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)
• Fluorescence Redistribution After Photobleaching
• Microscopy (FRAP)
• Epifluorescence Microscopy
• Fluorescence Microscopy
• Immunofluorescence Microscopy
• Confocal Microscopy
• Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM)
• Phase Contrast Microscopy
• Polarized Light microscopy
• Differential Interference Contrast (DIC)
• High Resolution Image Analysis
• Time Lapse Photography
• Video-Enhanced Microscopy
• Infrared Imaging (e.g.: brain slide recordings)
• Calcium Imaging
• Colocalization Studies
• Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP)
• Micromanipulation/ICSI as well as IMSI.

Fertility & Infertility

Laboratories for Fertility & Infertility (IVF, ICSI, IMSI, Pre-Implantation Diagnostics, etc.) are major users of the 
WillCo-dish® Glass Bottom dish "Series GWSt-5040", because of its dedicated design and high tech quality. 
The final design (50 x 7 mm.) was supported by the Staff of several University Fertility and Infertility Departments 
and IVF Clinics. 
IVF-test and LAL-test certificates are available, on request.

Scientific Fields

Glass Bottom Cell Culture dishes are used in the fields of Life Science and Environmental Research, Marine-, 
Micro- , Molecular- and Cell Biology, Cell Culture and Cell Physiology, Biotechnology, Genetics, Anatomy, Neurology, 
Pathology, Pharmacology and many more.

Microscope Manufacturers

From the very beginning of the design of our WillCo-dish® Glass Bottom Dishes, we have liaised with the Staff and 
Representatives of the “big four” microscope manufacturers, Carl Zeiss, Leica Microsystems, Nikon and Olympus. 
Company Staff, Product managers and Sales Representatives soon recognized the unique design and High Tech 
quality of the WillCo-dish® Glass Bottom Dishes. They now use them in their (Sales) Demonstrations, (In house) 
Workshops, Scientific Meetings and (International) Trade Shows.
