Overview
The EVOS™XL Core Imaging System has two
types of controls: manual and onscreen. Manual
controls include the illumination wheel, focus
knobs, Freeze and Save buttons, objective
turret, and the optional mechanical stage X-Y
axis knobs. Onscreen controls appear at the
bottom of the screen when the mouse rolls over
the controls area. Using a mouse is optional; you
can operate the EVOS™XL Core Imaging System
using only manual controls.
Note: The EVOS™XL Core Imaging SystemUser
Guide (Pub. No. MAN0007989) is provided on the
USB ash drive. It isalso available for download
from the EVOS™XLCore Imaging System
product page at thermofisher.com.
Operating environment
Place the EVOS™XL Core Imaging System
on a level surface away from vibrations from
other pieces of equipment.
Allow at least 5cm (2in) of free space at
the back of the LCD housing to allow for
proper ventilation and prevent overheating
of electronic components.
Set up the instrument away from direct light
sources, such as windows. Ambient room
lighting can enter the imaging path and
affect the image.
Operating temperature range: 4°–32°C
(40°–90°F).
Relative humidity range: 30–90%.
