EVOS M7000 Automated Microscope

  • The Invitrogen EVOS™ M7000 Automated Imaging System is a fully integrated inverted digital microscope designed for automated fluorescence and transmitted-light imaging. The platform combines multi-channel fluorescence capability with motorised stage control and advanced acquisition features, supporting both routine imaging and high-content live-cell experiments. It also serves as an effective first step for sample screening and optimisation before progressing to higher-end imaging systems.

    The system is equipped with a motorised X/Y stage for automated area scanning and multi-position imaging, along with autofocus functionality for reproducible time-lapse and Z-stack acquisition. Dual monochrome and colour CMOS cameras enable sensitive fluorescence detection alongside brightfield imaging and colourimetric staining applications (e.g., H&E, von Kossa, and Alizarin Red staining).

    An integrated on-stage environmental control chamber allows regulation of temperature, humidity, and CO₂, supporting long-term live-cell imaging under physiologically relevant conditions. The system features a user-friendly interface, enabling efficient operation with minimal training requirements.
