The IXplore IX85 uses its built-in optics to collect large, uniform images
Microscopy developer Evident has recently released IXplore IX85, an automated inverted microscope system.
The IXplore IX85 collects large, uniform images with its built-in optics, which offer consistent lighting across the whole field of view.
“IXplore IX85 allows users to uncover meaningful new insights faster than previously possible,” said Evident’s vice president of product management and marketing of life science research Motoki Inoue.
The microscope’s imaging tools and 26.5mm field number enable operators to obtain clear and precise results. These results are also achieved by proprietary distortion correction and expanded flatness even at image edges.
Flexible features of the microscope allow operators to tailor the technology to meet their needs. This includes automated acquisition features, customised interfaces and real-time image processing and analysis
“Its dual built-in ports enable multimodal setups, and its open frame design makes it simple to add or swap modules as needed,” said Inoue.
Silicone gel pad technology is used to optimise the process, moving with the objective and eliminating the need to wipe or replace oil as a sample is navigated.
Intelligent shading correction is also available to enhance stitched images, while the correction collar automatically improves image quality by reducing spherical aberrations cause by sample variation.
“Researchers can cover larger areas in fewer images, get more data points from each image and minimise image stitching,” said Inoue.
“In fact, with faster stitching, users can capture large samples in 50% fewer images compared to our previous system models.”
The IXplore IX85’s features allow operators to capture more data and optimises lab workflow by increasing the rate at which new insights are uncovered.
