Ramona’s mission is to provide resources and modular tools to advance imaging needs for biologists working with small model organisms. That’s why we’re excited to share a custom, 3D-printable design for a sample-holder insert to accommodate virtually any type of plate into our MCAM ™ Kestrel.

Ramona’s Multi-Camera Array Microscopes (MCAMs™) facilitate high-throughput image and video capture of entire well plates in multiple modalities, and we’ve optimized the MCAM™ Kestrel for researchers working with larval zebrafish and other small model organisms in 24, 48, and 96-well plates. However, many users have asked if they can take a quick snapshot of their organism prior to plating them for their assay to ensure they are all healthy! You have asked, and we have listened. We’ve created a library of printable Petri dish inserts to accommodate whatever size you use! Visit this link to download these printable files for free. Have an idea for other custom sample holders? Get in touch and let us know!

Happy printing — we hope you’ll enjoy these new ways to image on your MCAM ™ Kestrel system! For more information and easy software tutorials, check out our Youtube page. For more information on the MCAM ™ Kestrel and our team, visit ramonaoptics.com
