Which hardware autofocus systems are compatible with the ibidi µ-Dishes and µ-Slides?
Due to the standard refractive index of nD=1.52, the ibidi Polymer Coverslip bottom is considered to be compatible with all hardware auto-focus systems that work with near IR LED or laser light. The following hardware auto focus systems were extensively tested by ibidi:
Company | System | Test Date | Result |
Leica | Adaptive Focus Control (AFC) 2010 | 02/2017 | No incompatibilities with ibidi labware products |
Nikon | Perfect Focus System 3 (PFS3) 2012 | 05/2015 | No incompatibilities with ibidi labware products |
Note: Channel µ-Slides might give two optical interface signals—one from the coverslip bottom and one from the ceiling of the channel.
