Evident’s 6th Annual Image of the Year Regional (Asia-Pacific) winning image features the sarcomeric periodic structure within layers of cardiomyocytes in a rat heart. 🫀

To capture this image, immunofluorescence staining was performed on intact tissue blocks over an extended period, followed by immersion in an anti-fade reagent. This approach helped ensure the tissue structure was captured as naturally as possible.

Microscopy demands stillness. Icebreakers exist to do the opposite.

When Jan van IJken reached out to Evident asking for advice on how to film microscopic Arctic plankton from a ship that smashes through frozen sea for Pole to Pole with Will Smith, the new National Geographic and Disney+ series, there was no off-the-shelf answer.

The challenge for our microscopy expert Udo Steininger was to design a setup that could fit on a small plane, be transported by dinghy to board the ship, and then be assembled in a polar lab without a technician anywhere within a thousand miles. After evaluating both active and passive anti-vibration solutions with the production team and Arctic scientist Dr. Allison Fong, Udo selected a passive anti-vibration table, light enough to travel, yet stable enough to absorb the constant vibrations from the icebreaker’s engine.

However, solving engine vibration was only part of the challenge. The sudden shock of the hull breaking through ice was another. This is where filmmaker Jan van IJken adapted the workflow by using a we**am pointed at the bow of the icebreaker to monitor conditions and timing each shoot for moments when the ship entered open channels of water and calmer conditions.

This is field science at its most improvised, and the full setup story is in our blog: https://evidentscientific.com/en/insights/frozen-world-of-plankton-pole-to-pole?utm_source=Facebook&utm_campaign=brand&utm_medium=organic

Happy ! This week, we’re taking a look under Luigi Bozzano’s microscope at a rotifer. 🔎

These microscopic animals are typically found in both freshwater and marine habitats and feed on bacteria, microalgae, and organic particles. When viewed using DIC microscopy, we can see fascinating details such as this rotifer’s corona, digestive system, and jaw structure.

Do you feel like your day is spent loading slides instead of generating results? It might be time to rethink your workflow.

With the new slide insertion tool for Evident’s SLIDEVIEW™ VS200 universal whole slide imaging scanner, you can load multiple slides at once and keep your focus where it belongs, on discovery.

Streamline your workflow, reduce manual handling, and spend more time analyzing your data.

Setting up a surface measurement shouldn't take longer than analyzing one.

Evident's LEXT™ OLS5500 hybrid 3D optical profilometer streamlines data acquisition with Smart Scan II for laser scanning microscopy (LSM). Place the sample, press start, the system handles focus, scan range, and acquisition automatically.

Behind the scenes, the PEAK algorithm optimizes every scan: accurate data from low to high magnifications, with shorter acquisition times. For stepped samples, it skips unnecessary Z-range scanning entirely, capturing only what matters.

✅ Smart Scan II: one-button data acquisition for LSM
✅ PEAK algorithm: accurate results across all magnifications
✅ Reduced scan time by skipping irrelevant Z-ranges on stepped samples

The result: faster time to data, with fewer manual steps between sample and analysis.

Pine tree pollen for today's ! 🔬🌲

Fun fact: The circles you see on both sides of the pollen are actually air-filled extensions that operate like balloons, helping it move through the wind. 🤯

Evident’s FLUOVIEW™ technology allowed the autofluorescence in this image stand out, while giving us a detailed look at the pollen sample.
