Abstract
A cell culture incubator has an incubator cabinet with an internal chamber for the incubation of cells in one or more cell culture vessels and a door opening from an external environment to the internal chamber. At least two imagers configured for imaging the cells are within the internal chamber and a manipulator for manipulating the cells in the one or more cell culture vessels is within the internal chamber. A cell culture vessel transfer device moves the one or more cell culture vessels between the at least two imagers within the internal chamber and a controller is configured for controlling the cell culture transfer device to move cell culture vessels between the at least two imagers.
