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.
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.
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.
Where is the Yamato CMPB10 manufactured?
Yamato Scientific lists South Korea as the country of origin for the CMPB10.
Is there a spec sheet or brochure for the Yamato CMPB10?
Yes. The Yamato CMP Series Celloger Mini Plus brochure (856 KB PDF) is linked under Documents & Downloads on this page.
What are the shipping dimensions and weight of the Yamato CMPB10?
Yamato's shipping data lists the CMPB10 at 22 × 19 × 16.5 in and 23 lb packed.
