entoWIZ clip cages are a type of container that is used to confine insects for research purposes. They are typically made of plastic or metal, and they have a mesh screen that allows the insects to breathe. Clip cages are often used to study the behavior of insects, their interactions with other organisms, and their responses to environmental factors.
Here are some of the uses of clip cages in entomological research:
Studying insect behavior. Clip cages can be used to study the behavior of insects in a controlled environment. For example, they can be used to study how insects interact with each other, how they respond to food and water, and how they move. Studying insect interactions with other organisms. Clip cages can be used to study how insects interact with other organisms, such as plants, animals, and other insects. For example, they can be used to study how insects pollinate plants, how they prey on other insects, and how they transmit diseases. Studying insect responses to environmental factors. Clip cages can be used to study how insects respond to environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, and light. For example, they can be used to study how insects grow and develop under different conditions, how they reproduce, and how they survive. Clip cages are a valuable tool for entomological research. They allow researchers to study insects in a controlled environment, which can help them to better understand the behavior, interactions, and responses of these important organisms.
Here are some additional benefits of using clip cages in entomological research:
They are relatively inexpensive and easy to obtain. They are easy to set up and use. They allow researchers to control the environment of the insects, which can help to ensure that the results of the research are accurate. They can be used to study a variety of insects, including both small and large insects. Overall, clip cages are a valuable tool for entomological research. They allow researchers to study insects in a controlled environment, which can help them to better understand the behavior, interactions, and responses of these important organisms.
This frame-less clip cage is used to contain small insects like whiteflies on host plants. It is constructed of 150 x 150 mesh no-thrips screen bonded to two plastazote foam rings. The foam rings are placed on each side of the subject leaf under investigation. They are held in place by three supplied staples as shown in the picture or below video that are inserted in the appropriate positions. The angled shape of the staple serves to clamp the rings snugly against the leaf. Four or six (depending on the clip cage model selected) staples are supplied with each cage. Each ring has an outside dimension of 1-7/16?, inside dimension of 1? and thickness of 3/8? 40 x 25.4 x 9.5 mm or 50 x 40 x 15 mm or 65 x 40 x 10 mm. The color of the foam ring might change between white and grey to black color depending on the stock availability. Similarly, the color of the mesh used for clip cages might change. But with our internal analyses, black color mesh allows maximum light to pass through the rings so the effect of mesh on photosynthesis is minimised.
NOTE: Price is for each of the clip cage a pair of identical units to sandwich the leaf and minimum order to be made is 12 units.
