Instrument exterior components
Touch-screen display:
The 7-inch capacitive touch-screen display is the main user interface of the
Countess
™
II Automated Cell Counter. It contains the buttons for all instrument functions and displays
data from the cell count.
USB ports:
The USB ports allow you to transfer and save the cell count data and image to an external
computer for record keeping and printing purposes. You can use the USB drive supplied with the
instrument or any other standard, FAT32-formatted USB drive for data transfer. If desired, you can plug
in a USB mouse into the rear USB port for instrument control.
Note:
The USB ports located in the front and the back of the instrument function the same. However, the
first USB drive connected will be the preferred saving location and both USB drives cannot be accessed
at the same time.
Slide port:
The slide port is used to insert the Countess
™
Cell Counting Chamber Slide containing the
sample into the instrument.
Power switch:
The ON/OFF rocker switch is the main power switch. It is not necessary to use the power
switch for day-to-day operation of the instrument.
Power input jack:
The power input jack connects the instrument to an electrical outlet through the
supplied power cord and the appropriate plug, based on the electrical outlet configuration in your
country.
Note:
The Countess
™
II Automated Cell Counter (Cat. no. AMQAX1000) uses brightfield
illumination only and does not support the EVOS
™
LED light cubes.
