Customized imaging chambers can be 3D printed using FDM or SLA printing technology, and attached to a #1.5 thickness coverglass to allow for high-resolution imaging. When prepared properly, these chambers show no cytotoxicity or other signs of altered cell behaviour, even in cells cultured for multiple days. These are the chamber designs used in the Heit Lab, and are based on our publication in Biochemistry and Cell Biology[1], and on the Mod3D preprint[2] by the Truant Lab.
In addition to directly printing chambers, 3D printing can also be used to make moulds for casting PDMS chambers, as described in our publication in Biochemistry and Cell Biology[1].
