Evident, Partners Advance Live-Cell Imaging Instrumentation

Life science imaging systems producer Evident has collaborated with illumination and imaging technology company 89 North and advanced microscopy systems producer CrestOptics to promote confocal spinning-disk technology to advance live-cell imaging in the Americas. The technology around which the collaboration has formed combines microscopes and optics from Evident with spinning-disk confocal platforms from CrestOptics and laser diode illuminators from 89 North.

Integrating these solutions, Evident said, will expand the range of live-cell imaging tools available to researchers and enable customized designs to fit specific needs. The collaborators will focus on technologies and applications including superresolution confocal imaging, live cell imaging, and widefield microscopy.
