Eppendorf Cell Imaging Plates with film bottom have excellent light transmission rates even for UV-A and UV-B light. The autofluorescence of the material is lower than a conventional polystyrene bottom with a significant reduction in background signaling. Furthermore, the film bottom enables high gas transfer: oxygen supply and equilibration with the atmosphere are achieved directly through the plate bottom. The glass bottom plates offer excellent planarity for sophisticated microscopic analysis.
