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.
