Meet the world’s first revolutionary hybrid microscope REVOLVE, and the team behind it.

In Scientific Research, there are two types of microscopes: Upright and Inverted.

Upright microscopes are designed for viewing glass slides from the top-down, with the lens above the sample. Inverted microscopes are used for viewing live specimens in chambers (such as petri dishes) from underneath, with the lens below the sample.

Currently, if a user requires the capabilities of both instruments, they must purchase two separate systems, doubling equipment costs and consuming twice the laboratory space.

Furthermore, to take pictures, a separate camera and computer must also be purchased. And despite significant advancements in cameras and computing technologies, these basic imaging systems have seen very limited development and are often perceived as outdated, overpriced, and difficult to use.

Echo Laboratories has solved this problem by developing REVOLVE, a hybrid microscope that easily converts between Upright and Inverted configurations. This consolidated platform significantly reduces the lab space requirements of multiple systems. Additionally REVOLVE leverages Olympus objective lenses optimized for fluorescence, phase contrast, and brightfield microscopy.

We replaced the conventional eyepieces, camera, and desktop computer with an iPad tablet. With the tablet’s retina display, specimen viewing is clear, sharp and effortless and no longer requires straining into eyepieces. Image quality is a fundamental component to a microscope’s design, and users can capture exceptional images using iPad’s high-resolution camera. For taking pictures, our custom designed software app brings a modern, streamlined interface never seen before in microscopy.
