Evident Launches the FV5000 Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope, Now Available at Mason Technology

Evident has launched the FLUOVIEW™ FV5000 Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope, now available in Ireland through Mason Technology. As a next-generation platform following the FV4000 series, the FV5000 redefines precision imaging with extraordinary clarity, speed, and reliability. Built on Evident’s world-class optical expertise, it combines advanced detection, intelligent automation, and flexible modular design to meet the evolving needs of modern research.

At the core of the FV5000 is SilVIR™ detector technology, delivering photon-level quantitation, exceptional sensitivity, and an ultra-high signal-to-noise ratio across the industry’s widest dynamic range. A built-in laser power monitor ensures consistent illumination, supporting reproducible imaging for quantitative and longitudinal studies. Researchers can capture faint and bright signals simultaneously, eliminating the need for repeated acquisitions.

The system offers both 2K resonant and 8K galvo scanning for fast and detailed image capture. This dual-scanner design allows users to record rapid cellular events at full clarity or produce large, high-resolution image maps with ease. Paired with FV-OSR software and high-NA objectives, the FV5000 achieves up to 120-nanometre XY resolution without additional hardware.

FLUOVIEW Smart™ software introduces AI-powered automation to every workflow. Features such as automatic laser power adjustment, intelligent shading correction, and smart sample search simplify operation and save valuable time. The TruResolution™ automated correction collar maintains image sharpness throughout each Z-stack, while TruAI™ deep-learning tools enhance clarity, reduce noise, and automate segmentation for consistent results.

Gordon Wright, Sales Manager at Mason Technology, commented:

“The FV5000 is a breakthrough for confocal imaging. Its precision, automation, and speed help researchers produce consistent, publication-quality data in less time.”

He added:

“Evident continues to lead in optical innovation. The FV5000 combines high performance with intuitive design, giving Irish laboratories access to world-class imaging capabilities backed by local expertise.”

Designed for long-term reliability, the FV5000’s modular platform supports up to twelve detection channels and can expand to include multiphoton imaging. Smart monitoring systems continuously evaluate system stability and performance, ensuring consistent, reproducible results over time.
