High-speed, automated inverted microscope system

Evident has launched the IXplore™ IX85, an advanced automated inverted microscope system designed to accelerate research workflows with unmatched speed, clarity, and precision. Featuring an industry-leading 26.5 mm field number (FN) and advanced imaging tools, the system enables researchers to capture more data with greater accuracy while streamlining analysis.

The IXplore IX85 delivers consistent lighting across the entire field of view, ensuring high-quality, uniform images. Proprietary distortion correction technology and expanded flatness provide accurate sample representation, even at the edges. Intelligent Shading Correction further enhances image quality by enabling seamless, high-resolution stitched images.

A breakthrough in objective usability, the system introduces a new silicone gel pad that moves with the objective, eliminating the need for frequent oil replacement and reducing maintenance.

“With an expansive field of view and advanced imaging capabilities, the IXplore IX85 enables researchers to uncover new insights faster than ever,” said Motoki Inoue, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing, Life Science Research. “Users can cover larger areas with fewer images, capture more data points per image, and significantly reduce stitching time - cutting the number of required images by up to 50% compared to previous models.”

Designed to enhance lab efficiency, the IXplore IX85 integrates automated acquisition features, real-time image processing, and customisable workflow interfaces. A new automatic correction collar optimises image quality by fine-tuning objectives to reduce spherical aberrations caused by sample variations.

“The system’s modular design ensures long-term adaptability,” Inoue added. “With dual built-in ports for multimodal setups and an open-frame architecture, researchers can easily customise and expand their system to meet evolving needs.”

Additional upgrades include environmental control and advanced imaging modalities such as Spinning Disk Confocal, Super Resolution, Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF), and Photomanipulation.

By delivering faster acquisition times and unparalleled imaging performance, the IXplore IX85 supports a wide range of research applications, empowering laboratories of all sizes to stay at the cutting edge of scientific discovery.
