EVOS cell imaging system selection guide

Which EVOS cell imaging system is right for you?

All EVOS microscopes share common features: high resolution imaging; bright LED light sources; high-resolution cameras and optics; compact, efficient design; minimal handling; and powerful, intuitive software. The one that’s right for you depends on your needs and applications. For a basic microscope suitable for cell culture applications, choose the EVOS M3000 Imaging System. For a versatile laboratory workhorse, choose between the advanced mechanical EVOS M5000 Imaging System and the fully automated EVOS M7000 Imaging System. For spatial biology and multiplex tissue imaging, choose the EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System.

If your application involves high-content analysis (HCA) or screening, consider the EVOS M7000 HCA Package or the CellInsight platforms.
