USING THE TRANSFECTION TOOL
EVOS’ Transfection tool expedites the capture and overlay
of images for transfection analysis.

the lighting. See steps 1-13 of Fluorescence Operation
(p.9) for detailed instructions.
2. Open the Toolbar and expand the Transfection tool .
Note: The “Pause after first image” option allows
you to adjust focus, if necessary, before
capturing the transmitted light channel.
3. Click the Run Sequence button . The sequence always
starts with the fluorescence channel and finishes with
the transmitted light channel.
Note: The Lighting Override feature allows you to
select a channel to activate with the LIGHT ON/
OFF button.
4. If the Pause option is selected, adjust focus and click the
Continue button . If Pause is deselected, go to step 5.
5. The dual-channel image will display with the Overlay
tab selected. Adjust the brightness and contrast
settings as desired, and save the image . See
