ibidi® Imaging Plates and Lumidox®II – A Winning Combination!
Published: July 15, 2026
ibidi® 96-well imaging plates integrate seamlessly with Analytical’s Lumidox® II Lens Mat LED arrays. Plate-specific Alignment Spacers made by Analytical align each well of the imaging plate directly above each LED in the array. The protrusions or “tips” on the lens mat of the array directly touch or “couple” with the bottom of the wells in the plate. This allows optimal light transfer directly into the samples
ibidi® Imaging Plates
Round and Square 96 Well Black Plates with Clear Glass Bottom for High-throughput Imaging
- Optimized for microscopy – brilliant optical quality and excellent cell adhesion
- #1.5H Glass Coverslip bottom provides excellent optics
- Exceptional flatness in the inner wells and throughout – great for automated screening
- Black walls for low well-to-well crosstalk during fluorescence microscopy
Designed for high-end microscopic analysis of fixed or living cells. These plates are great for TIRF, super-resolution, and single molecule applications. The glass bottom allows you to perform high-resolution microscopy in a standard multiwell format.
