📎Datasheet
This datasheet describes the Reshape Imaging Unit, a combined incubator-imaging system which is used to acquire data for the Reshape Microbiology Platform.
Mechanical characteristics
Weight: 25 kg
The sample trays which holds plates during imaging are 500x330x6mm in outer dimensions.
Temperature characteristics
Min. temp. absolute: 6 C
Min. temp relative to ambient: +5 C
Max temp. absolute: 40 C
Stability: +/- 1C from setpoint
