The lower part belongs to the custom made incubator (green). Above the battery
the water reservoir responsible for relative humidity and the heater responsible
for the incubation temperature are shown (dark green). The in ovo culture is
situated in a turnable connector cage (pink). The lids (red) are kept free of
condensation by the anti-condensation systems (violet) to allow documentation
with the camera (blue). The structures that provide the illumination and the
documentation are situated in the upper part of the incubator (yellow). The
dome shaped diffusor (bright yellow) that carries the camera (blue) separate
the culture from the environment. On the outer side of this structure the LED
ring (dark yellow) is positioned. The outer hood (orange) closes the incubator
and protects it against the environment. On the left the configuration with the
resistive heating and manipulation lid (A) and on the right the configuration with
fan heater and documentation lid are shown (B). |
