The Yamato CMP-BG10 is a Celloger Mini Plus automated live-cell imaging system configured for 10X brightfield plus green fluorescence, the high-magnification green-channel version. It combines autofocusing and real-time, multi-position imaging in a body compact enough to sit inside a standard CO₂ incubator, so cells can be tracked continuously without disturbance. Rather than moving the sample, the Celloger uses a fixed stage and moves its internal camera to each position, vessel and cells stay stationary in a stable environment. At 10X with a green channel, you resolve sub-cellular detail while following green reporters such as GFP.

Application Profile
Brightfield shows a cell's shape and position; fluorescence shows what it's doing. A green channel turns the Celloger into a functional-reporter platform, follow GFP-tagged proteins, green viability or reporter dyes, and expression time-courses live, overlaid on brightfield for context. Keeping this inside the incubator is doubly important for fluorescence, where repeated removal both stresses cells and invites inconsistent exposure; the in-incubator workflow holds conditions stable across long time-lapses.
The 10X field is the detail choice for green-channel work. Higher magnification resolves sub-cellular localization, single-cell reporter dynamics, and fine morphological response to treatment or differentiation, at the cost of field width. The fixed-stage design keeps the sample undisturbed while the internal camera visits each position (critical at higher magnification where vibration would blur) and autofocus plus multi-position imaging automate the full acquisition so a multi-day, high-resolution green experiment runs unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification and imaging mode is the CMP-BG10? A 10X field of view in brightfield + green fluorescence, detailed morphology plus a green reporter channel (e.g. GFP).
What can I image with the green channel? Green reporters and dyes such as GFP, green viability/reporter stains, and expression markers, overlaid on brightfield at high magnification.
Can it go inside my CO₂ incubator? Yes. It is compact enough to fit inside a standard CO₂ incubator and can be carried in and out during an experiment.
How does it image without disturbing the cells? It uses a fixed stage and moves the internal camera to each position, so the vessel and cells stay stationary, especially valuable at 10X where vibration would blur.
Does it acquire multiple positions automatically? Yes, autofocusing plus real-time, multi-position imaging automate multi-day, high-resolution brightfield-and-green time-lapse.
How do I choose between BG10, BG4, and the red (BR) versions? By magnification and reporter color. BG10 is 10X green; BG4 is 4X green; BR4/BR10 provide a red channel. Match the channel to your fluorophore and the magnification to the detail you need.
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm at quote: that your reporter is green-compatible (vs the red BR versions), that you need 10X detail rather than a wider 4X field, and vessel/plate formats.
Warranty: Per Yamato standard capital-equipment terms. Confirm coverage at quote.

Celloger Mini Plus family. Pick by magnification + channel:
- Brightfield: CMP-B2 (2X), CMP-B4 (4X), CMP-B10 (10X)
- Brightfield + Green fluorescence: CMP-BG4 (4X), CMP-BG10 (this, 10X)
- Brightfield + Red fluorescence: CMP-BR4 (4X), CMP-BR10 (10X)
Choose BG10 for high-resolution green-reporter imaging; drop to BG4 for a wider field, or the BR versions if your reporter is red.
