Top mounted light incubatorIt is a modern experimental equipment that integrates high-precision constant temperature control and adjustable lighting function, widely used in fields such as botany, biological genetic engineering, medicine, environmental science, and agricultural research. Adopting a top mounted LED cold light source system, precise environmental simulation is achieved through the fourth generation plant growth specific LED light source. This light source has the characteristics of energy conservation and environmental protection, low heat generation, and long service life (up to 50000 hours). Combined with high-density nano film lamp boards, it ensures uniform light and eliminates the light defects of weak middle and strong edges in traditional side light incubators. The equipment can set different temperatures and lighting levels in different time periods to accurately simulate different environmental and climatic conditions, providing reliable support for scientific research.

Light responsive cell experiment
Application scenario: Study the biological response of animal or human cells (such as retinal cells, skin cells) to light and explore the mechanism of phototherapy.
Example: Using blue light (450-470 nm) to irradiate human retinal pigment epithelial cells, simulating circadian rhythm regulation, and studying the pathogenesis of related diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.
4、 Ecology and Environmental Science Research
Microecological System Simulation
Application scenario: Building small artificial ecosystems (such as microcosms and wetland models) to study the effects of light changes on the structure of biological communities, material cycling, and energy flow.
Example: Simulate the eutrophication process of lakes in a light incubator and observe the correlation between algal blooms and light intensity.
Research on Climate Change Response
Application scenario: By adjusting light, temperature, and CO ₂ concentration, simulate global climate change scenarios (such as a 2 ℃ increase in temperature and a 10% increase in light intensity), predict changes in species distribution or ecosystem functions.
Example: Study the light damage mechanism of coral symbiotic algae under high light intensity and evaluate the adaptability of coral reefs to ocean acidification.
5、 Drug Development and Biotechnology
Screening of photosensitive drugs
Application scenario: Testing the activity of photosensitive compounds (such as photodynamic therapy drugs) under specific lighting conditions, optimizing drug dosage and lighting parameters.
