Overall, the ECHO Revolve has been a nice addition to our lab. The fluorescence capabilities, as well as the ability to invert the scope, have been great to have all in one unit, since our space is limited. The iPad screen also makes it so much easier to share with others what you are actively seeing without having to play musical chairs in front of the microscope. A few reasons why we didn't give this scope five stars, though. You cannot do maintenance on the scope yourself; you have to call them. There is a screen that only they can access, making you unable to have full independence from maintenance and cleaning. So, you cannot check phase alignment, for example, yourself. Also, we've encountered a few bugs in the general performance of the microscope. However, most of those bugs have been fixed or addressed by reaching out to the team. The final downside is that the storage space on the iPad is limited to the version that it came with. Since the microscope uses the iPad camera, the dock is set up only for that iPad version, meaning that as newer versions are available on the market, you are stuck with whatever version you have. Ultimately, there are a few bumps with this scope, but that will happen with a lot of newer technologies. For us, the ability to automatically have scale bars and the smart nose piece, as well as the ease of use, makes this scope worth it to us.

David Russell
We acquired one for our State of Maine Fish Health Lab as a replacement for a much older scope that we used for a range of tasks. The IPAD as an eye piece is really great, especially with all of its annotation capabilities and documentation features. Automatic micrometer switching between objectives and the ability to use a stylus to measure lengths and surface areas of cells very quickly at any level of zoom also makes some "old school" analytical methods practical. For example, we have used it to determine ploidy status in diploid vs triploid trout as part of an experiment. As triploids have much larger erythrocytes than diploids, the ability to quickly measure a bunch of cells on fixed giemsa stained blood smears and then export those measurements into the spreadsheet function makes assessment easy to conduct and to document. Without the annotation and micrometer features, such methodology is just too labor intensive and of a nature that makes other means of assessment more practical. It saves us time and enhances our ability to show others what we find.
