IMPORTANT:
The IncuCyte™ ZOOM should be powered on immediately after installation into
the incubator. It is recommended that the unit be powered on at all times when it is in the
incubator to minimize the formation of condensation on the system. Proceed to the next
Section, Warming up the Microscope, to learn how to warm up the microscope.
3.7 Switching the IncuCyte
™
ZOOM On and Off
The power switch on the IncuCyte™ ZOOM can be found under the front panel cover. The
system can be started or stopped by quickly depressing and then releasing the power switch.
When the system is running, it may take 30 to 60 seconds for the system to save any settings and
data before it powers down. If the system fails to power down, press and hold the power switch
for 10 seconds.
3.8 Warming up the Microscope
A warm-up cycle should be run to get all of the components in the system up to temperature
quickly and avoid condensation. After the system has been on for 2 minutes, the system will start
an auto warm-up. This will be indicated by a “Monitoring Temperature” message on the
controller LCD. The auto warm-up is NOT intended as a substitute for the manual warm-up cycle
but, rather, it is a backup process that occurs in those instances where the manual warm-up is
accidentally omitted.
