3.4 Installing an Objective
The IncuCyte™ ZOOM ships with up to three objectives with magnifications of 4X, 10X and 20X.
The system will need to be calibrated for all of the purchased objectives. To get started, the 10X
objective should be installed if it is available, otherwise the 20X or 4X should be used. Objectives
are installed on a bracket that is shipped already installed in the system. See the diagram above.
With the filter module access cover removed, pull out the drawer halfway to provide access.
Remove the objective bracket from the system by loosening the screw using the supplied 2.5mm

the bracket. Install the bracket and objective back into the system on the two guide pins and

verify that the corrective ring on the objective is set to 0.8. Close the drawer and replace the
filter module access cover.
