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.

We study pancreatic cancer cachexia and we use cell-based models for a number of our studies. We needed a microscope that would work for daily use, but could also take publication-quality photos. We made the right choice choosing the Echo Rebel! The resolution of both the iPad display and the exported images is phenomenal, especially for the price of the system. It is easy to use and easy to train people on (our summer highschool intern was using it independently after 10 minutes). The photos are easy to export via airdrop, which means we don't have to worry about connecting it to our institution's secure network. The Echo Rebel has made photo documenting our cell culture work so much easier.

I'm Frances, the cell culture SME within our company's core service labs. Our Echo Revolve and Rebel have been instrumental in how we streamlined processes, expanded our capabilities in the lab in terms of imaging, and all around better visualize our samples. The iPad is a major win for accessibility! I always recommend Echo microscopes to other scientists and engineers that I work with, but the systems truly speak for themselves. Anyone who uses one of our microscopes ends up wanting one for their own lab! The best feature (aside from the iPad) is the compact footprint. Our lab is tiny, but we are able to squeeze two of these systems in easily. The Echo microscopes are one of our favorite instruments in the space!

My name is Andrew Modzelewski, and I’m an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. In my lab, we explore how transposable elements, often referred to as jumping genes, affect gene regulation during the earliest stages of mammalian development. Given that we frequently manipulate embryos, the ability to visualize tiny and rare samples like zygotes and oocytes is crucial for our research. The ECHO Revolve has quickly become one of our most essential instruments, both in the main lab and the tissue culture lab. Its ease of switching between brightfield and fluorescence imaging is invaluable, as we rely heavily on both techniques. The hybrid upright/inverted design not only simplifies our workflow but also helps us save precious space. Since our team primarily uses Mac hardware, transferring and storing data is a seamless process. The Revolve has gained popularity on our floor; many neighboring labs prefer to use it, and two have even installed their own units. It’s clear that the Revolve was designed by individuals who truly understand the daily needs of microscope users. Overall, it’s an exceptionally intelligent instrument.
