    IX85 Inverted Microscope System

    Reference : EVI-IX85
    The IXplore IX85 is a high-performance, motorized inverted microscope platform designed for advanced live-cell imaging, time-lapse acquisition, and automated workflows in demanding life science applications.

    Inverted Microscope for Live-Cell Imaging and Automation

    Motorized and Modular Design for Precision Imaging

    Built on the proven Olympus IX3 frame and the legacy of the IX83 platform, the IXplore IX85 delivers enhanced automation, stability, and modularity to support a broad range of imaging techniques, from brightfield to fluorescence and DIC. It delivers precise control for long-term observations, high-content screening, and multi-position acquisition.
    Seamless integration with Olympus cellSens software ensures intuitive operation, automated workflows, and consistent image acquisition across experiments.

    Flexible Configurations for Time-Lapse and High-Content Applications

    • Supports fluorescence, DIC, phase contrast, and IR-DIC imaging
    • Motorized Z-drive and XY stage with TruFocus™ Z-drift compensation
    • Modular deck structure for easy integration of additional optical paths or accessories
    • Seamless compatibility with incubation systems for live-cell viability
    • Ideal for cancer biology, stem cell tracking, and neuroscience research
    • Scalable for routine imaging to AI-assisted image acquisition and automated analysis

    The IXplore IX85 platform is also available in two optimized configurations:

    • IXplore IX85 Pro for high-speed, high-content imaging with a wide field of view
    • IXplore IX85 Live for long-term live-cell imaging with minimized phototoxicity and precise environmental control.
