Inverted microscope IX85 – Evident-Olympus

Motorised inverted microscope – wide-field imaging (26.5 mm), advanced automation, high modular flexibility

The Evident-Olympus IXplore IX85 inverted microscope combines sophisticated automation, high-performance optics and exemplary modularity.

Built on the proven Olympus IX3/IX83 base, it offers an exceptional 26.5 mm field of view, automatic objective correction, optimised workflow and intelligent software, ideal for real-time applications, advanced cell imaging and automated analysis.

Features of the Evident-Olympus IXplore IX85 inverted microscope

  • 26.5 mm field of view (FOV), two integrated camera ports (left/right) and third port option
  • X Line™ optics and LUPLAPO 25XS immersion silicone lenses for exceptional resolution and clarity in 3D imaging
  • Auto-correction collar: compensates for spherical aberrations due to variations in coverslip thickness
  • TruFocus ™ Z-drift compensation system, perfect for long duration and time-lapse experiments
  • cellSens™ software with AI (TruAI), acquisition management (5D, multi-well), real-time 3D deconvolution
  • Modular construction and open gantry body: allows later addition of modules (TIRF, confocal spinning disk, photomanipulation…)
  • Uniform, stable LED illumination for live cell imaging, reduced phototoxicity/photobleaching (Live version)
  • Motorised stage (Z + XY coded), high degree of automation for multi-positioning, screening and high-content imaging

Description of the IX85 inverted microscope

The IXplore IX85 builds on the robust chassis of the IX3/IX83 series to offer a highly customisable automated platform. Equipped with a 26.5mm field of view, automated optical correction, Z-drift TruFocus™ autofocus and intelligent software, it enables accurate, continuous and reproducible imaging, even during prolonged experiments. Its open modularity makes it easy to add specialised modules in the future (TIRF, spinning disk, SMLM…), ensuring that your investment is technologically future-proof.

Applications

  • Live cell imaging (time-lapse, tracking, screening, multi-position)
  • Fluorescence, DIC, phase contrast and IR-DIC
  • 3D / multi-channel acquisition / real-time 3D deconvolution
  • High-Content Screening (multi-well)
  • Confocal spinning-disk imaging (with Spin module)
  • TIRF, photomanipulation, super-resolution (optional modules)
  • Experiments on sensitive cells: phototoxicity reduction (Live model)
