Our group studies necrotizing enterocolitis. This is a devastating disease that effects newborn infants. We have enjoyed using the microscope to look at a range of tissues and enteroids. It has a user friendly interface and has been easy to work with. It also fits nicely in our lab space.

Diomedes Trejos
Who are you / what are you researching? My name is Diomedes Trejos, and I am a PhD student at the University of Miami. My research focuses on understanding the mechanisms driving blood cancers, particularly pediatric leukemias, using advanced stem cell models and multi-omics approaches. How has our microscope helped your research? The ECHO microscope has been a crucial tool in our work. We perform extensive microscopy to monitor stem cell differentiation and leukemia biology, and the system consistently delivers clean, sharp, and publication-quality images. It has streamlined our imaging workflow and improved the clarity and reliability of our cellular observations. What is your favorite part about the system? The combination of exceptional image quality and user-friendly design is my favorite part. The interface is intuitive, making it incredibly easy for students and researchers at all levels to use without a steep learning curve. Would you recommend ECHO microscopes to other researchers? Why? Absolutely — and we already have. We recommended ECHO to other labs at our institution, and they have adopted the system as well. The microscopes offer excellent imaging performance, are easy to learn and operate, and fit seamlessly into diverse experimental workflows. What stands out about our microscope versus other systems? ECHO stands out for its simplicity, versatility, and impressive image quality in a compact system. Compared to other microscopes, it offers a smoother user experience and faster setup without sacrificing performance, which has been a game-changer in our lab’s day-to-day work.

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.

Hi, I'm currently researching Alzheimer's disease in iPSC derived cell types. This microscope has helped my research by visualizing the morphology changes and viability of the cells during these differentiation stages to the terminal end goal cell along with being able to see potential changes via brightfield during drug treatments. My favorite part of the system is the imager of the microscope allowing you to easily save and transfer images while labeling them with scale bars, etc. I would reccomend using ECHO microscopes because they're easy to use and technologically sound with a great support team. The biggest thing that stands out to me is that these microscopes are easy to use, image, and connect to company wifi for file transfers while before we had to manually connect USBs and perform multiple computer transfers which was a hassle. Thanks ECHO!

I work in tissue engineering as a PhD student and so far I enjoyed working with ECHO as it enabled me a quick magnified look into my experiments and helped me with qualitative assesment of immunostained samples, where the quality of images is indeed satisfactory. My favourite part about the system is that it also enables automated imaging, which has proven to save me a lot of time when I had to image my samples every day in the course of one week - which saves a lot of time! That´s one of the main reasons why I would recommend it to other users as it is an easy-to-use benchtop microscope that provides researchers with good-quality images.

The ECHO microscope is a game-changer in terms of its optical capabilities. Its high-resolution imaging provides unparalleled clarity, allowing me to observe even the most intricate details of the specimens I study. The fact that it is hybrid and can function as both UPRIGHT and INVERTED is simply amazing. In conclusion, the ECHO microscope has exceeded all my expectations. Its exceptional image quality, user-friendly interface, adaptability, and robustness make it an indispensable tool for anyone engaged in scientific research

Hi everyone! I'm Vaibhav, a research assistant at the University of Mumbai, studying cell biology. The ECHO Microscope has been an absolute game-changer for us in the lab. Its high resolution and user-friendly interface have made it so much easier to analyze cell structures accurately. What I love most is how quickly we can train new students to use it effectively. I wholeheartedly recommend ECHO Microscopes to fellow researchers. The quality and ease of use make it a standout option in our field. Thanks to ECHO, our research has been more efficient and productive. Sharing this positive experience is my pleasure, and I hope it helps others in their scientific endeavors.

I’m a graduate student studying micronuclei formation and mitotic spindle abnormalities in response to drug and gene perturbation. The echo revolution has expedited the time it takes to visualize slides and facilitated switching between different objectives. I would highly recommend this to other researchers
