Is the flat design of the µ-Slide 18 Well - Flat also compatible with upright microscopes?

Yes, under certain setups. The µ-Slide 18 Well - Flat was originally designed only for inverted microscopes. However, it is possible to use the slide with upright microscopes if the objectives have working distances of 2 mm or more. Alternatively, water dipping objectives, which are designed for use with upright microscopes and slides without coverslips, can be used. They can be dipped directly into the open cell culture well. Please contact your microscope supplier for these lens options.
