Abstract:
A biological work station for culturing and monitoring cells includes a laminar flow bench and an incubator disposed on the bench. The bench includes a work surface adjacent the incubator that allows experiments and other manipulations to be performed within the confines of the laminar flow bench. An imaging system, such as a stereoscope, may be mounted to the bench so that images may be captured of a culture without removal of the culture from the incubator.
