What does the Optics Kit do?
The bubble of media on the well creates optical distortion when examining the cells with an inverted microscope. The Optics Kit effectively allows the creation of a vertical column of media to stand in the well, while causing the upper and lower surfaces of the media to be flat and in the same plane (essentially making a “cylinder” of media). The Optics Kit is reusable and affords excellent visual, online evaluation of the migrating cells. For experiments with a single endpoint after the cells have migrated, there is no need to use an Optics Kit.
