• Transparent glass heaters for microscopy and/or patch clamping
• Suitable for fluorescence measurements (see fig. below)
• Thin (HI-24p 0.18mm typ.; HI-24Tp 0.12mm typ. thick) for short working distance objectives
• Thicker (HI-22Dp,HI-25Dp, HI55Dp, HI57Dp 0.6mm typ.; HI-711p 1.1mm typ. thick) for long working distance objectives
• Uniform temperatures inside 2mm edge
• Not damaged by high temperatures
• Low resistance (typ. 10ohms)

The HI-24p/HI-24Tp and HI-xxDp Transparent Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) heaters are intended for microscopy and/or patch clamping applications. ITO is a transparent surface coating that is highly electrically conductive. The coating is on the non-tissue side of the glass. The heaters can be used for studies of acutely isolated cells or for cultured cells where slides can be placed in a chamber where the heater forms the bottom. The HI-24p/HI-24Tp heaters are very thin but with an epoxy “frame” edge cracking is much reduced and strength is significantly increased.
