ibidi GmbH has launched the µ-Dish, a petri dish that allows cells to be cultured, manipulated, and imaged on the same dish. The surface of the µ-Dish is specially treated and exhibits enhanced cell growth, as tested with more than 20 cell lines and primary cell cultures. Due to its thin bottom, the µ-Dish is suited for high-resolution microscopy using any microscopic technique such as DIC, phase contrast, and fluorescence. A special lid-locking feature prevents the evaporation of the cell culture and allows long-term experiments without loss of humidity. Furthermore, the walls of the µ-Dish are low, increasing the accessible working area.
