Evident recently announced the release of its IXplore™ IX85 automated inverted microscope system. With an industry-leading 26.5 mm field number (FN), combined with new advanced imaging tools that ensure clear, accurate results, this new system empowers researchers to capture more data and uncover new insights faster than ever before. It also delivers an unmatched level of customizability, allowing users to design or build an intelligent, high-performance imaging platform that meets their specific goals.

The IXplore IX85’s built-in optics provide consistent lighting across the entire field of view, allowing users to collect large, uniform images. Proprietary distortion correction technology and expanded flatness ensure that every detail, even at image edges, is an accurate sample representation. Users can also create seamless, high-quality stitched images with Intelligent Shading Correction.
The IXplore IX85 sets a new standard in objective usability with groundbreaking new silicone gel pad technology. The silicone gel pad moves with the objective, which eliminates the need to wipe or replace oil as a sample is navigated.
“A combination of an unmatched field of view and advanced imaging tools, the new IXplore IX85 allows users to uncover meaningful new insights faster than previously possible,” said Motoki Inoue, Vice President of product Management and Marketing, Life Science Research. “Researchers can cover larger areas in fewer images, get more datapoints from each image, and minimize image stitching. In fact, with faster stitching, users can capture large samples in 50% fewer images compared to our previous system models.”
Designed to dramatically enhance lab workflows, the new system is equipped with automated acquisition features, customizable interfaces, efficient task management software, and advanced real-time image processing and analysis. Its new automatic correction collar automatically fine-tunes objectives, optimizing image quality by reducing spherical aberrations caused by variations in samples.
“The IXplore IX85 also allows users to continually stay at the forefront of technology with unmatched customizability,” Inoue continued. “Its dual built-in ports enable multimodal setups, and its open frame design makes it simple to add or swap modules as needed.”
Users can also upgrade and expand their platform as research needs evolve by adding features such as environmental control and imaging modalities like Spinning Disk Confocal, Super Resolution, Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF), and Photomanipulation.
Designed to allow users to see and capture more than ever before while dramatically reducing acquisition times, the new IXplore IX85 easily adapts to diverse research needs while empowering labs of all sizes to stay prepared for whatever the future brings.
