  • Instrument Details

Key Capabilities

  • Optical imaging of transparent samples.
  • Texas red, DAPI and GFP imaging of stained samples.
  • Stage raster imaging to cover larger areas.
  • Time lapse imaging to capture changes over time.


Data Produced

  • Optical images at 4X, 10X, 20X or 40X.
  • Fluorescent images of compatible dyes.


Compatible Samples

  • The EVOS is an inverted microscope. Samples are mounted upside down.
  • The standard holder holds 2 standard microscope slides.
  • Samples should be mounted on a standard microscope slide using a coverslip.
  • Samples must be transparent.
  • Samples must be attached to the slide and should be free from loose material that could fall off.
  • It is also possible to mount a well plate on the stage.
