Overview
 | Clear, Fast, Accurate Live Cell ImagingThe IXplore™ IX85 Live inverted microscope system delivers precise live cell imaging, helps reduce photobleaching, and enhances cell viability for physiological experiments. And with an industry-leading 26.5mm field number (FN), the IXplore™ IX85 Live helps you acquire clear, accurate images faster than ever before. |

A New Standard in Image Depth and Objective UsabilityEvident’s silicone oil immersion objectives allow you to capture clearer images of living specimens during sophisticated timelapse experiments. These objectives help reduce the spherical aberration caused by refractive index mismatch and enable high-resolution observation deep inside living tissue. Our new multi-immersion objective (LUPLAPO25XS) introduces groundbreaking new immersion technology. This objective combines all of the advantages of our silicone oil immersion objective with new levels useability. With silicone gel pad technology, you can get the quality of silicone immersion oil with the useability of a dry objective.

The new LUPLAPO25XS enhances workflows for organoids, 3D cell culture, well-plates, and a wide range of applications, with crystal-clear imaging and no compromise in usability. See deeper into your samples and reveal structures that were previously out of reach with a high NA and long working distance. | |

Stable, Trustworthy Imaging OutputsLive cell imaging requires significant time and resources—it’s important that your lab has the right microscope system. The IXplore™ IX85 Live system offers enhanced rigidity and reduces the effects of vibration and temperature on your microscope. This also facilitates reliable timelapse imaging by helping maintain the desired focus position on the Z-axis. Pair the IXplore™ IX85 Live system with our TruFocus™ Z-drift compensator to capture cellular dynamics through high-precision, multipoint timelapse images that are never out of focus or misaligned. |

Carefully Maintaining Live SamplesLive cells require careful maintenance—we offer a variety of microscope-based incubation systems designed to meet your changing research needs. Box-type incubation systems* enable timelapse observations over several days by enclosing a portion of your microscope within the incubator. Shorter experiments can be completed with stage-top microscope CO2 incubation systems* that are fitted to your stage and can be easily removed when not in use by your team. Both incubation systems can be precisely controlled (temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration) to maintain a constant environment surrounding your dish or well-plates. This maintains cell activity and significantly improves the reliability of your timelapse observations—ultimately providing you with better data. *Third-party products. | See how Jutta Bulkescher, Microscopy Specialist at the Center for Protein Research/Danish Stem Cell Center, University of Copenhagen, conducts a wide range of research at her facility and how incubation systems enables her to reliably perform stem cell analysis while maintaining cells under strict conditions. |
Cultured Cos 7 cell | Close Monitoring of Cell Migration GrowthUse our cellSens Object Tracking and Count and Measure solutions to analyze the movement and division of live cells in timelapse or Z-stack image sets. Confluency Checker tools are a proven way for you to measure confluency on phase contrast images as well as fluorescence. |

Improve Experiment Efficiency with Advanced DeconvolutionWith our cellSens Dimension software, you can utilize live 2D deblurring for preview and acquisition to enable exceptional focusing on your thickest specimens. More advanced TruSight deconvolution is also available that uses an iterative algorithm to produce improved resolution, contrast, and dynamic range. To further improve experiment efficiency, you can define deconvolution processing as a macro function in the Graphical Experimental Manager (GEM). |  Left: Without TruSight / Right: With TruSight |

| Optics that Provide Uniform IlluminationThe large FOV optics available for use with the IXplore™ IX85 Live helps you create uniformly illuminated fluorescence images and also enable the use of large-sensor sCMOS cameras. |
|---|
Fully Automated EfficiencyThe Graphical Experimental Manager (GEM) of cellSens Dimension software allows fully automated multidimensional observation (X, Y, Z, T, wavelength, and positions) and helps make experiment setup easier than ever. To further increase efficiency, you can also define macro functions, including deconvolution processing, in the GEM. |
