EVOS
™
M5000 Imaging System (Cat. No. AMF5000) is a fully
integrated, digital, inverted imaging system for four-color fluorescence and
transmitted-light applications.
It combines precision optics, a five-objective turret, an 18.5 inch high-resolution
LCD display (1920 × 1080 pixel resolution), and a highly sensitive Sony IMX265
monochrome CMOS camera (2048 × 1536 pixel resolution, 3.2 Megapixels) to
acquire images seamlessly through the intuitive user interface using a mouse for
easy control.

Software
The EVOS
™
M5000 Imaging System is controlled by the integrated Invitrogen
™
EVOS
™
M5000 Software through a graphical user interface (GUI), which is accessed
by the computer mouse and keyboard. The software is pre-installed to the
instrument and starts automatically when the instrument is powered on.
Key features of the EVOS
™
M5000 Software include:
•
Capture:
Allows control over every aspect of the system for image capture
through a simple user interface. All images acquired can be saved in BMP, JPG,
PNG, and TIFF formats, or compiled into a video sequence in AVI or WMV
formats.
•
Autofocus:
Allows autofocus in fluorescence and brightfield modes.
•
Z-stacking:
Captures a series of images along the z-axis that can be saved
individually or combined into a Z-stack projection with a greater depth of field
than any of the individual source images.
•
Time lapse:
Allows you to create a time lapse movie using captured images.
•
Review:
Allows you to review, measure, and annotate captured images.
•
Cell count:
Allows you to automatically or manually count cells in
fluorescence mode post-acquisition.
•
Conflunce:
Allows you calculate the percentage confluence of your culture
based on selected reference objects and background.
•
Network and Connect
™
connectivity:
Allows Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity
to the network and to your Connect
™
account, Thermo Fisher’s cloud-based
platform, to store and access your data files.
