EVOS Auto 2

The EVOS Auto2 from Thermo Fisher is an easy to use microscope capable of imaging both fluorescent and histological samples.  The system can image both fixed and live samples.

Capabilities

  • Fluorescent imaging of fixed and live cells
  • Bright field and phase contrast imaging
  • Long-working distance objectives allow imaging through tissue culture plastic
  • Temperature, humidity and CO2 control for long time lapse imaging of live cells
  • Motorised XYZ stage for tile scanning, multi-point and Z-stack imaging
  • Multiple samples holders for slides, plates, dishes and flasks
