Real-Time Automated Live Cell Imaging System, Bright Field + Green Fluorescence, 4X Overview
Packed for shipping it measures 22 × 19 × 16.5 in at 23 lb. Operating environment spans 10–40°C and 20–95% humidity. Country of origin: Korea.
Key Features
- Dual imaging modes: brightfield plus green fluorescence (excitation 470/40, emission 510 lp) for both morphology and fluorescent reporter signals.
- Camera-moving design: a motorized XYZ stage moves the camera instead of the vessel, keeping cells in a steady, undisturbed state during multi-position capture.
- Real-time and time-lapse imaging: automated capture with one-click video lets users monitor cultures and generate output without manual intervention.
- Optics and sensor: 4× and 10× objective lenses paired with a 5 MP CMOS camera and LED illumination.
- Incubator-ready footprint: compact 226 × 358 × 215 mm body fits inside a standard CO2 incubator and stays portable at 23 lbs.
How to Choose the Right Cell Imaging System
Selecting a live-cell imaging system comes down to matching imaging modes, magnification, and incubator compatibility to your assay and workflow. Use these axes to confirm fit before purchase.
- Imaging modes: brightfield alone covers morphology and confluence, while an added fluorescence channel (here, green) is required for fluorescent reporters and viability dyes.
- Magnification and field of view: 4× captures more cells per frame for population-level tracking; 10× resolves finer detail. This unit supports both, with fields of view from 1.19 × 0.90 mm to 0.57 × 0.43 mm.
- Stage architecture: a camera-moving motorized XYZ stage keeps the vessel stationary, reducing disturbance to growing cells versus moving-stage designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the operating environment for the CELLOGER MINI PLUS?
The system operates from 10–40°C and 20–95% humidity, which lets it run inside a standard CO2 incubator for long-duration live-cell monitoring.
What are the dimensions and weight of the unit?
Packed for shipping it measures 22 × 19 × 16.5 in at 23 lb. Its compact footprint fits inside a standard CO2 incubator and stays portable for moving in and out of experiments.
What imaging modes and magnification does CMP-BG4 provide?
This configuration provides brightfield plus green fluorescence (excitation 470/40, emission 510 lp) at 4× magnification. Selectable 4× and 10× objective lenses cover fields of view from 1.19 × 0.90 mm to 0.57 × 0.43 mm.
Does the stage move the sample during imaging?
No. The motorized XYZ stage moves the camera rather than the vessel, keeping the sample in a steady state so cells grow undisturbed while multiple positions are captured.
Where is the Yamato CMPBG4 manufactured?
Yamato Scientific lists South Korea as the country of origin for the CMPBG4.
Is there a spec sheet or brochure for the Yamato CMPBG4?
Yes. The Yamato CMP Series Celloger Mini Plus brochure (856 KB PDF) is linked under Documents & Downloads on this page.
