Evident IXplore IX85 SpinSR spinning disk confocal microscope

Evident has released the IXplore IX85 SpinSR spinning disk confocal microscope. Built on the company’s stable IXplore IX85 automated inverted microscope system, the device is designed to offer fast imaging that is precise and gentle on live cells, thus expanding the possibilities of what researchers can capture and discover.

Powered by Yokogawa CSU-W1 spinning disk technology, the super-resolution microscope enables users to capture ultra-small cellular dynamics in high detail. Designed for prolonged cell viability in time-lapse experiments, the system combines fast image acquisition, advanced algorithms and XY resolution down to 120 nm to accelerate 3D super-resolution imaging. Equipped with a real-time controller for precisely coordinated imaging, it delivers fast, gentle live-cell imaging at the nanoscale.

The microscope’s TruSight SR super-resolution algorithm enhances image resolution down to 120 nm with one click. It automatically optimises the image processing filter based on the signal-to-noise ratio, enabling appropriate processing for live-cell imaging even in dim fluorescence conditions.

TruSight SR also preserves the original image’s intensity levels, enabling users to analyse and compare the brightness of samples in super-resolution images for quantitative analysis. Its 3D algorithm is designed to support organoid research by delivering clear and precise super-resolution results, even deep inside samples.

The microscope can be paired with Evident’s silicone gel pad objective (LUPLAPO25XS) for 3D volumetric reconstruction and deeper focus into samples.
