I received very good although quite varied responses. The ideal solution may well be to use the large chamber for heating only so that the microscope and sample are thermally stable, and in addition use a small chamber for controlling humidity and CO2 that can be readily cleaned. Zeiss use this combination and the only problem with the large Zeiss chambers are that they are see through and so have to be used in a dark room.
