M5000 Imaging System
The Invitrogen
™
EVOS
™
M5000 Imaging System (Cat. No. AMF5000SV) is a fully integrated, digital,
inverted cell 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 x
1080 pixel resolution), a highly sensitive monochrome CMOS camera (2048 x 1536 pixel resolution, 3.2
Megapixels) to acquire images seamlessly through an intuitive user interface using a mouse for easy
control, and a position-sensing stage that enables sample locations to be mapped and stored for fast
future acquisition.
EVOS

M5000 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 and starts automatically when the instrument is powered on.
Key features of the EVOS
™
M5000 Software include:
•
Stage View: Integrates a precision manual stage with sensors for accurately mapping and marking
points of interest in various vessel types, including plates, slides, and petri dishes.
Note: Stage View requires an updated stage manufactured in early 2024 for all new EVOS
™
M5000 systems. Prior EVOS
™
M5000 systems using a stage with separate X- and Y-axis control
knobs will not have access to the Stage View feature but can be updated to have all of the other
software features described in this quick reference guide.
•
Capture: Enables control over every aspect of image capture through a simple user interface. All
images acquired can be saved in JPG, PNG, and TIFF formats, or compiled into a video sequence
in AVI or MP4 formats.
•
Autofocus: Enables 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: Enables creating a time-lapse movie using captured images.
•
Review: Enables reviewing, measuring, and annotating captured images.
•
Cell count: Enables automatic or manual counting of cells post-acquisition.
•
Confluence: Enables calculating the percentage confluence of the culture based on selected
reference objects and background.
