A cell imaging system in the lab allows researchers to visualize and analyze cellular structures, dynamics, and molecular localization in detail. It supports real-time monitoring, quantitative analysis, and high-throughput screening, enhancing the understanding of cellular processes and the effects of various treatments. This technology is essential for documenting experimental results and advancing biological and biomedical research.

The EVOS M5000 Imaging System, from Thermo Fisher Scientific, is a fully integrated digital inverted benchtop imaging system designed for four-color fluorescence, transmitted light, and color imaging. It serves as a versatile and reliable tool for cell imaging laboratories that significantly enhances imaging workflows and catering to a wide range of applications and imaging needs.

Easy to learn and affordable, the EVOS M5000 eliminates the complexities of high-end microscopy without compromising performance. It incorporates high-resolution cameras, bright and digitally controlled LED light sources, and intuitive software to help capture superior, publication-quality images in just a few clicks.

As a fully automated, multichannel fluorescence or brightfield microscope it features advanced imaging tools to handle time-lapse movies, multiwell plate scanning, image stitching and tiling, and cell counting. The EVOS M5000 also offers post-capture tools, including brightness/contrast adjustments, annotations, and on-board analyses for automated cell counting, fluorescence transfection efficiency, and cell confluency.

Key Features:

  • Easy installation—no maintenance, assembly, alignment, or calibration
  • User-defined four-color fluorescence, transmitted light, and color applications
  • Autofocus, Z-stack capability, time-lapse imaging, and single-click multi-channel capture
  • Proprietary EVOS Stage View for easily tracking stage location via software, marking points of interest, and easily returning to them
  • On-board software for intuitive acquisition, image annotations, and analyses such as automated cell counting and cell confluency measurements

Applications: Brightfield, Phase Contrast, Color and Fluorescence Imaging

What makes the EVOS M5000 stand apart from other cell imaging systems is its unique EVOS Stage View, which is a new proprietary functionality to track the position of the instrument’s manual stage in real time. The Stage View displays crosshairs shows the position of the objective relative to the stage, which is especially beneficial when working with microtiter plates. This functionality enables the identification and marking of interest location points in samples to find them again in a consistent and intuitive manner. Designed and created with biologists in mind, the EVOS M5000 offers exceptional ease of use and functionality. Overall, it is an exceptionally versatile imaging system suitable for a broad range of applications while maximizing performance and optimizing workflows.
