❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Fluorescence Microscopes in the UK

How much does a fluorescence microscope cost in the UK?

Entry-level fluorescence microscopes in the UK are available — contact for quote for systems like the EVOS M3000. Professional models with 4-channel fluorescence vary by configuration — request a quote. High-content screening systems like the CellInsight CX7 available for high-end configurations. Budget stereo fluorescence microscopes are available available now.

What is the best entry-level fluorescence microscope for UK labs?

The EVOS M3000 is the best entry-level fluorescence microscope for UK research labs. It features two-colour fluorescence (GFP/RFP), automated cell counting, confluence detection, and an all-in-one touchscreen design with no external PC needed. Prices start available at entry-level pricing making it ideal for teaching labs and research facilities.

Do I need a darkroom for fluorescence microscopy?

No. Modern LED fluorescence microscopes like the EVOS series do not require a darkroom. The EVOS smart-shroud blocks ambient light, allowing you to image fluorescence in a normal lab environment. This saves space and eliminates the need for dedicated darkroom facilities.

What is the difference between GFP and RFP fluorescence?

GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) emits green light when excited by blue light, and is commonly used for protein localization and gene expression studies. RFP (Red Fluorescent Protein) emits red/orange light when excited by green light, and is often used for co-localization studies with GFP or for deeper tissue imaging where red light penetrates better.

Can a fluorescence microscope fit inside a biosafety cabinet?

Yes. The EVOS M3000 is specifically designed to fit inside standard Class II biosafety cabinets. Its compact all-in-one design (no external PC or power supply) and small footprint make it ideal for imaging inside cell culture hoods, maintaining sterile conditions while viewing live cells.
