title: Microscopy of cell cultures through thin plastic films.
abstract: Microscopy of cells growing in vessels containing plastic films as a substrate or as a transparent window is facilitated by a contact cap on the objective or the contact objectives for intravital microscopy. When applied to microscopical examination of living cells through a thin film, the cap considerably improves the conditions of observation with high-power dry objectives and makes it possible to use water- and oil-immersion objectives.
