AUC-330-HS Integrated Transparent Constant-Temperature Heating Stage
Clear imaging across an integrated heated surface
The AUC-330-HS is a high-transparency constant-temperature heating stage designed for use with a wide range of stereo microscopes. Its integrated optical heating surface combines uniform temperature control with a clear and unobstructed microscope light path.
The 190 × 140mm transparent area provides excellent specimen visibility, while a defined 160 × 110mm heating zone delivers controlled heating across the central observation region.
Temperature can be adjusted from ambient temperature up to 60°C, with central-area temperature accuracy of ±0.1°C. The stage can maintain Petri-dish samples at approximately 37°C, making it particularly suitable for observing cells, embryos and other temperature-sensitive biological specimens.
Its integrated outer-frame construction reduces recesses and inaccessible areas where contamination may collect, supporting easier cleaning and aseptic laboratory workflows.
Designed to minimise cleaning blind spots
The heating glass and surrounding frame form a smooth integrated assembly with fewer inaccessible edges and recesses. This makes the surface easier to clean and particularly well suited to biological laboratories where good contamination-control practices are important.
Supplied as a complete temperature-control package
The AUC-330-HS includes the transparent heating stage, digital temperature controller, 24V AC power supply and all required connecting cables.
Accurate, clear and efficient
Maximum Temperature
Adjustable from ambient temperature up to 60°C for a broad range of laboratory applications.
Central-Area Accuracy
High-precision sensing supports stable and reliable control during critical specimen observations.
Light Transmission
The transparent construction preserves a clear, unobstructed transmitted-light path.
Rated Power
An efficient heating system provides controlled performance with a lower rated power requirement.
Designed for demanding biological observation
Uniform Heating
Precise temperature control helps create a stable experimental environment for cells and embryos.
Unobstructed Light Path
The transparent surface provides more than 95% light transmission without blind zones across the observation area.
Precise Temperature Control
A high-precision temperature sensor supports stable and repeatable temperature regulation.
Durable Optical Material
High-hardness optical construction provides excellent wear resistance during regular laboratory use.
Easy-Clean Surface
The integrated frame reduces inaccessible cleaning areas and supports aseptic working practices.
Broad Compatibility
Suitable for many conventional stereo microscope stands, subject to stage dimensions and clearance.
Ideal for clean, temperature-sensitive observation
