Real-Time Automated Live Cell Imaging System, Bright Field, 10X Overview
The Real-Time Automated Live Cell Imaging System, Bright Field, 10X (Yamato Scientific Celloger Mini Plus, SKU CMP-B10) is a real-time automated live-cell imaging system in the Cell Biology category. It captures brightfield images at 10× magnification inside a standard CO2 incubator. LabSupplies.com, authorized dealer, supplies the genuine unit.
Engineering centers on a camera-moving design rather than a moving stage. Cell vessels stay steady while the internal camera travels across multiple positions on a motorized XYZ system. A 5 MP CMOS sensor pairs with an LED light source and 4×/10× objective lenses. Autofocusing supports long-term capture without manual intervention.
Compact dimensions of 226 × 358 × 215 mm let the unit fit a standard CO2 incubator and move in and out during experiments. Operating range spans 10–40°C and 20–95% humidity. Weight is 23 lbs, and country of origin is Korea. Contact for power specification.
Key Features
- Camera-moving design: the vessel and cell sample stay in a steady state while the internal camera moves, providing a stable growth environment.
- Brightfield imaging at 10×: captures live-cell detail through 4× and 10× objective lenses with a 5 MP CMOS camera.
- Motorized XYZ stage: automated multi-position capture across the well plate without manually relocating the sample.
- Walk-away monitoring: real-time and time-lapse acquisition with automated capture and one-click video, all inside the incubator.
- LED light source: consistent illumination suited to long-term, undisturbed cell observation.
- Incubator-ready footprint: 226 × 358 × 215 mm body fits a standard CO2 incubator at 23 lbs.
How to Choose the Right Cell Imaging System
Selecting a live-cell imaging system depends on what you image, how often, and where the instrument must operate. Match these axes to your protocol .
- Imaging mode: this configuration runs brightfield; confirm whether your assays require fluorescence channels in addition to label-free observation.
- Magnification and field of view: 4×/10× objectives deliver fields from 1.19 × 0.90 mm down to 0.57 × 0.43 mm, so verify the cell density and detail you need to resolve.
- Automation type: a camera-moving, motorized XYZ stage keeps vessels steady for stable growth and hands-free multi-position capture.
- Footprint and incubator fit: the 226 × 358 × 215 mm body must clear your CO2 incubator shelf spacing.
- Operating environment: rated for 10–40°C and 20–95% humidity, matching standard incubator conditions.
- Camera resolution: the 5 MP CMOS sensor governs image clarity for downstream analysis and video export.

Frequently Asked Questions
What operating environment does the CMP-B10 support?
The CMP-B10 operates at 10–40°C and 20–95% humidity. That range matches standard CO2 incubator conditions, allowing the system to monitor live cells inside the incubator without disturbing the culture environment.
Will this system fit inside a standard CO2 incubator?
Yes. Its compact body measures 226 × 358 × 215 mm and weighs 23 lbs, so it fits a standard CO2 incubator and can be carried in and out during an experiment.
What are the power and voltage requirements?
Contact for specification. Power and voltage details are not listed in the current product data; our lab-equipment specialists can confirm electrical requirements before you order.
Which imaging modes and magnifications are available?
This configuration provides brightfield imaging at 10× magnification. It uses 4× and 10× objective lenses, with fields of view ranging from 1.19 × 0.90 mm at 4× to 0.57 × 0.43 mm at 10×.
How does the system capture multiple positions without disturbing cells?
The camera moves while the vessel stays fixed. A motorized XYZ stage relocates the internal camera across multiple positions, keeping the sample in a steady state for stable growth during real-time and time-lapse imaging.
What camera and light source does the unit use?
The Celloger Mini Plus uses a 5 MP CMOS camera with an LED light source. Autofocusing and automated capture support long-term, hands-free observation with one-click video export.
