ABSTRACT:
A system for maintaining desired temperature control of a specimen observed under a microscope includes an objective lens heater comprising a heating element placed within a heat sleeve, which surrounds the objective lens casing. When an electric current is applied, the heating element is activated, heating the objective lens to a desired temperature. The heated objective lens may be used in combination with a stage heater to ensure that the specimen will be maintained at a desired physiological temperature during observation.
