Advanced Microscopy Group (a division of Westover Scientific, Inc.) has announced the launch of its latest microscope, the EVOS fl for fluorescence imaging. The EVOS program offers an integrated digital imaging system that comes with an inverted microscope, high-resolution digital camera and an LCD display. EVOS’ user-oriented design furnishes top-quality imaging with new ergonomic features.

A key feature of the EVOS fl is its advanced LED-based light cube system. Since each LED lasts for more than 50,000 hours, the user will probably never have to change a bulb. More importantly, LEDs can be easily adjusted and accurately controlled by the user, so chances of photobleaching or phototoxicity is greatly reduced. The EVOS fl is supported by an implanted microprocessor to give the user full control of image acquisition and management without the need for an external computer.
