EVOS XL Core Imaging System
Catalog number: AMEX1000
Designed to eliminate the complexities of microscopy, the EVOS XL Core system captures high-quality brightfield cell images right at your benchtop within a minute. It’s the perfect instrument for monitoring cell cultures, either within a hood or in your cell culture room.
Features
The EVOS XL Core system extends EVOS simplicity and ease of use to brightfield microscopy. With a bright LED light source, a high-resolution color camera, and a choice of objectives, it can capture, display, and save high-quality color images in just a few clicks.
The XL Core system offers:
Easy self-installation
Unpacking and installation in less than 2 minutes with no alignment or bulbs to change, ever
High-quality color options
High-quality brightfield and phase contrast images with adjustable focus, light intensity, and color tone
Optional mechanical stage
Optional mechanical stage allows use of more objectives than the included fixed stage
Thermo Fisher Connect™ cloud
Additional post-acquisition image analysis via the Thermo Fisher Connect™ cloud application
Enhanced safety
Many operational functions can be controlled through software, reducing the need to touch the instrument
Biosafety cabinet compatible
Can be used within a biosafety cabinet or hood
Fast or slow mode
Your choice whether to maximize speed or resolution
