Which EVOS cell imaging system is right for you?

All EVOS microscopes share common features: high resolution imaging; bright LED light sources; high-resolution cameras and optics; compact, efficient design; minimal handling; and powerful, intuitive software. The one that’s right for you depends on your needs and applications. For a basic microscope suitable for cell culture applications, choose the EVOS M3000 Imaging System. For a versatile laboratory workhorse, choose between the advanced mechanical EVOS M5000 Imaging System and the fully automated EVOS M7000 Imaging System. For spatial biology and multiplex tissue imaging, choose the EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System.

 

If your application involves high-content analysis (HCA) or screening, consider the EVOS M7000 HCA Package or the CellInsight platforms.

Description
The EVOS M3000 is ideal for routine cell culture applications including confluency, fluorescent protein expression, sample QC and stem cell monitoring.  The EVOS M5000 is designed to support a broad range of applications, from quick check to acquisition of publication-quality images. The Stage View feature allows you to effortlessly locate, track, and record points of interest. The EVOS M7000 has been designed with advanced capabilities to simplify demanding slide and cell-based imaging applications including live-cell analysis, image tiling, and Z-stacking. The Invitrogen EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System is a tissue slide scanner excellent for multiplex immunofluorescence and colorimetric imaging.
