Which EVOS cell imaging system is best for you?
All EVOS microscopes share common features: stunning, easy-to-capture images; bright LED light sources; high-resolution cameras and optics; compact, efficient design; the enhanced safety of minimal handling; and powerful, intuitive software. The one that’s right for you depends on your needs and applications. For a versatile laboratory workhorse, choose between advanced mechanical (M5000) and fully automated (M7000) systems. For a basic microscope suitable for cell culture applications, choose between fluorescence (FLoid) and brightfield (XL Core) systems.
Tip: If your application involves high-content analysis (HCA) or screening (HCS), see the EVOS M7000 Imaging System High-Content Analysis Package or the Thermo Scientific CellInsight imaging systems.
