Abstract
An incubator with a double glazed wall that promotes regulation of sound pressure levels and temperature levels the incubator, using an insulated glass unit. The canopy of the incubator has at least one insulated glass unit. This unit includes at least one first inner glass and at least one second external glass. The inner and external glasses are spaced by a spacer, and are characterized by an inner atmosphere confined within the canopy and an external atmosphere.
