KSV Minitrough System 3

- Analytical film balance for Microscopy experiments

Microscopic analysis of monolayers is conveniently performed with the Minitrough 3. A quartz window in the bottom of the trough and easily customized mechanics allow the trough to be fitted to most inverted fluorescence Microscopes.

Configuration includes:

• KSV Minitrough Control Module
• Window trough
• Barriers
  
• Film balance
  
• Barrier drive
  

Unique Features

• Designed to fit most commercial inverted fluorescence Microscopes
• Quartz window in the center of the trough for microscopy and spectroscopy
  

Common Features

• Symmetric or single-sided compression of the monolayer by two inter-linked surface barriers
  
• Leak-proof hydrophilic Delrin barriers
  
• Form-sintered single piece, non-porous PTFE trough. Surface area 273 cm², (365 mm x 75 mm)
• Subphase temperature control facility by aluminum heating/cooling base plate operated by external circulating water bath. Bath sold separately
• Digital display of surface pressure
• Super-sensitive film balance with Platinum Wilhelmy plate (51066), 100 paper plates (51066FP) and a hook for paper plates (51066FPH)
• Complete KSV WINLB software for Windows operating systems
• Comprehensive instruction manual and instructional video CD on how to set up the instrument and get started with  measurements (or for use in undergraduate experiments)
• Complete starter kit to make initial measurements (see accessory KSV-LBKIT)
