CPA3 Alignment Plate in a
30 mm Cage System

• Orange Fluorescing Cast Acrylic Plates for 16 mm, 30 mm, and 60 mm Cage Systems
• Guide Lines and Ø1 mm or Ø5 mm Through Hole Aligned at Center of Compatible Cage System
• Quick, Drop-In Alignment Tools for Fluorescence Imaging Systems

These drop-in alignment plates are convenient tools for spatial calibration and alignment of cage-based fluorescence imaging systems. The cast acrylic substrate produces fluorescence spectra similar to orange fluorescing proteins and dyes. These plates provide a continuous fluorescent field so that the field of view, illumination consistency, and sample alignment may be assessed and adjusted prior to using a sample containing a fluorophore.

Each plate is cut from cast acrylic material with a thickness of 1.7 mm and has either a Ø1 mm or Ø5 mm through hole aligned at the center of the cage assembly. Each through hole is surrounded by concentric, engraved alignment rings. Options are available for compatibility with our 16 mm, 30 mm, and 60 mm cage systems. For custom colors and sizes up to 1' x 2', please contact Tech Support.
