Clinical Inverted Microscopes
IX3-ICSI/IMSI
As the demand for the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) applications has increased, so has the burden of the microscopy work it involves. Evident’s in vitro fertilization technology (IVF) helps facilitate the ICSI workflow, improving the speed and efficiency of each procedure.
IXplore IX73 Standard
Optimized for basic multicolor fluorescence imaging and routine experiments, the IXplore Standard system is easy to operate and ergonomically designed. Even with standard cell culture vessels, it captures high-quality, publication-worthy images while providing accurate and repeatable results at high magnifications. The IXplore Standard system’s simplified workflow and ease of use facilitate a wide range of standard imaging applications.

IVF/ICSI Microscope Solutions
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an in vitro fertilization technique in which a single sperm is injected into the oocyte cytoplasm using a pipette. Our inverted microscope system helps improve the quality of ICSI, which requires both speed and precision. With an optical system exclusively developed for ICSI, the microscope enables clear visualization of the spindle in a metaphase II oocyte through the oculars.
Support Biopsy Efficiency with the Simplified Operation of the IX73 Inverted Microscope
With objectives of lowering the miscarriage rate and improving the implantation rate, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is rising in popularity worldwide; therefore, the number of embryo biopsies performed is increasing accordingly.
Optimizing Your Oblique Observation Using Our Flexible Contrast Solution
Optical microscopes are typically adjusted for Köhler illumination, which helps ensure even illumination of samples. However, it is difficult to apply Köhler illumination to stereo microscopes because of the stereoscopic viewing, low magnification, zoom functionality, and the wide variety of samples.

Clinical Inverted Microscope FAQs
An inverted microscope is similar to a compound microscope, but the components are positioned in an inverted configuration—thus the name “inverted” microscope. With a compound microscope, the transmitted light source and condenser lens are beneath the stage and specimen. In an inverted microscope, the condenser lens and transmitted light source are placed above the specimen while the objective, fluorescence light source, and mirror turret are positioned below.
The component positioning in an inverted microscope means that transmitted light is directed from above and the resulting image is then viewed from below. This makes inverted microscopes suitable for viewing cell culture vessels, including glass flasks or petri dishes where the specimens adhere to the bottom of the vessel.
As previously stated, an inverted microscope is a microscope with its transmitted light source and condenser above the stage pointing down, while the objectives and turret are below the stage pointing up. Open-frame inverted microscopes, like our IXplore™ Standard and IXplore Pro systems, are great solutions for labs looking to adapt and customize a system to their needs. The systems work with multimodal solutions, such as TIRF illuminators or spinning disk confocal modules, to offer flexible imaging options. When using open-frame inverted microscopes for fluorescence imaging, a dedicated darkroom is usually required to avoid interfering signals from room lights.
If there is not enough space for a dedicated darkroom, an enclosed, all-in-one inverted fluorescence microscope, such as the APEXVIEW™ APX100 digital imaging system, is the best option. An all-in-one inverted fluorescence microscope is an automated research microscope with a box frame that enables users to image under normal lighting conditions. Its automated workflow removes complex steps typically involved in setting up an advanced fluorescence or confocal system, and these compact and versatile inverted microscopes can be placed almost anywhere in a lab or core facility.
