The H3565-45-LCI is the IncuView Integrated Microscope Shelf for the 45 L SureTherm CO2 Incubator (H3565-45) — sold. KEY DIFFERENTIATOR: integrates a microscope inside the CO2 incubator chamber — enables live-cell imaging without removing samples from the controlled CO2 / temperature / humidity environment. Significant workflow advantage for time-lapse imaging and longitudinal cell-culture studies.
Voltage options: This accessory is also available for European voltage configurations of the parent equipment.

Why IncuView Integrated Microscope
In the traditional cell-culture imaging workflow, cells live in the incubator, then the operator removes the plate, transports it to a microscope, images, and returns the plate to the incubator. Each cycle causes brief temperature loss during transport, CO2 atmosphere disruption during plate handling, and cell stress from thermal and atmospheric transitions — and true time-lapse imaging is impossible without specialized stage-top incubators on the microscope.
The IncuView integrated microscope approach mounts the microscope on a shelf inside the CO2 incubator chamber, so cells are imaged without leaving the controlled environment. This enables time-lapse and longitudinal imaging with no sample disturbance and no condensation interference, since samples stay in the chamber atmosphere with no chamber-to-room temperature gradient.
Pick the H3565-45-LCI when:
- Live-cell time-lapse imaging workflow at the 45 L chassis scale
- Longitudinal cell-biology studies where sample disturbance must be minimized
- Stem-cell differentiation / development imaging over hours-to-days timeframes
- Cancer cell motility / migration imaging requiring undisturbed CO2 / temperature
Step up to H3565-180-LCI for 180 L chassis pairing — larger chamber accommodates more parallel imaging samples.
