Real-Time Automated Live Cell Imaging System, Bright Field, 2X Overview
A camera-moving design replaces the conventional moving stage. The motorized XYZ optics travel to image cells at multiple positions while the vessel and sample stay fixed, holding a steady culture environment. A 5 MP CMOS sensor, LED light source, and 4×/10× objective lenses support automated capture, autofocusing, and one-click video.
Compact dimensions of 226 × 358 × 215 mm let the unit fit a standard CO2 incubator and move in and out between experiments. The system weighs 23 lbs and is manufactured in Korea.
Key Features
- Camera-moving architecture: internal optics move to image multiple positions while the vessel stays fixed, keeping cells in a steady, undisturbed state.
- Brightfield imaging at 2× FOV: 2× field of view measures 2.53 × 1.90 mm, with 4× and 10× objective lenses for closer views.
- Incubator-ready footprint: 226 × 358 × 215 mm fits a standard CO2 incubator and operates across 10–40°C and 20–95% humidity.
- One-click video output: converts time-lapse sequences into video without manual assembly.
How to Choose the Right Cell Imaging System
Live-cell imaging systems differ in optics, automation, and how they handle the culture environment. Match these axes to your assay and incubator before purchasing.
- Field of view and magnification: the 2× FOV (2.53 × 1.90 mm) captures more wells per frame, while 4×/10× objectives resolve finer detail — confirm the scale your readout requires.
- Stage architecture: a camera-moving design keeps the vessel stationary, reducing disturbance to sensitive cultures versus moving-stage systems.
- Operating environment: verify the 10–40°C and 20–95% humidity range matches your incubator conditions.
- Footprint: the 226 × 358 × 215 mm body must fit your existing CO2 incubator shelf with room to remove it between runs.
- Automation level: autofocusing, multi-position capture, and one-click video reduce hands-on time for long time-lapse studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the operating temperature and humidity range of the Celloger Mini Plus?
It operates from 10–40°C and 20–95% humidity. That range lets it run continuously inside a standard CO2 incubator for long-term live-cell monitoring.
What are the dimensions and weight of the CMPB2 unit?
Packed for shipping it measures 22 × 19 × 16.5 in at 23 lb. Its compact footprint fits a standard CO2 incubator and can be carried in and out between experiments.
What imaging mode and magnification does this configuration provide?
This configuration provides brightfield imaging at a 2× field of view (2.53 × 1.90 mm). Onboard 4× and 10× objective lenses deliver closer views at 1.19 × 0.90 mm and 0.57 × 0.43 mm.
Does the system use a moving stage?
No. The camera and motorized XYZ optics move to image multiple positions while the vessel stays fixed. This keeps the cell sample in a steady state during acquisition.
What camera and light source are built in?
It uses a 5 MP CMOS camera with an LED light source. Together they support real-time and time-lapse capture with autofocusing and one-click video output.
Where is the Yamato CMPB2 manufactured?
Yamato Scientific lists South Korea as the country of origin for the CMPB2.
Is there a spec sheet or brochure for the Yamato CMPB2?
Yes. The Yamato CMP Series Celloger Mini Plus brochure (856 KB PDF) is linked under Documents & Downloads on this page.
