Events & Updates
New Microscopy Core Resources
Our newly available Evident FV5000 upright multiphoton microscope is designed to support demanding imaging applications with:
• Deep tissue multiphoton imaging for intact biological samples
• Simultaneous multicolor acquisition for dynamic experiments
• Reduced photobleaching and phototoxicity during long-term imaging with fast imaging speeds
• SHG/THG label-free imaging capabilities
• Flexible excitation options for diverse fluorophore panels
Applications include:
- In vivo neuroscience imaging
- Calcium imaging and neural dynamics
- Tumor microenvironment studies
- Organoid and developmental biology workflows
- Thick tissue and cleared sample imaging
Researchers are using multiphoton workflows to capture biological processes that are difficult to resolve with traditional confocal approaches, including long-duration imaging in living tissue and high-resolution imaging at greater depths. The system is also equipped with single photon confocal abilities and great for standard sample preparations.
We would be happy to schedule:
• A live demonstration
• Sample evaluation imaging
• An application-focused discussion for your workflow
• A technical consultation with an imaging specialist
If you are exploring new approaches for deep tissue or live-cell imaging, we welcome the opportunity to discuss how the FV5000 platform may support your research goals.
