Design

To keep the glass coverslip bottom flush with the stage-warmer, as well as a flat coverslip bottom, it is essential to have a firm dish, with a solid wall.

Because of these very important issues, the WillCo-dish®-es do not have the familiar thin outer steep-walled shape. The contrary, they make a firm and robust first impression on the Microscope Technician. Still, they look fantastic!

When picking up the dish from a warming-stage, you can see why they look so solid; the dish has an integrated outer ring, which ensures safe handling of the dish and your live cells.

You do not have to worry about the lid, when picking-up the dish, because it has a smaller diameter than the dish. The outer ring gives you a secure grip on the dish and its valuable contents, your cells.


You will enjoy working with the WillCo-dish® Glass Bottom dishes and we will be most happy to place your comments in "REFERENCES" in our site, to tell your Colleagues, what your experiences were, working with the WillCo-dish®-es.
