      Russell CannonAug 25, 2025
      If the Save button displays a gray USB icon, ensure a USB drive is plugged in. If a USB is already plugged in but not recognized, the USB's format may be the issue, or the flash drive's data lock might be enabled. Try unlocking the flash drive or using a different USB.

    How to fix a dim image on Invitrogen Microscope?
    • M
      Molly PearsonAug 26, 2025
      If the image on your Invitrogen Microscope is too dim, even at the brightest setting, especially at higher magnifications, make sure the phase turret is set to the BF position. Also, if a condenser slider from a different EVOS™ instrument has been inserted, remove it, as sliders are not necessary for this instrument.

      Wendy BurnettSep 13, 2025
      If you're having difficulty focusing on a coverslipped sample on a standard slide with your Invitrogen Medical Equipment, place the slide so the coverslip is facing up. Long working-distance objectives require a thick optical substrate and image best through 1.0–1.5 mm of glass or plastic.

    How to fix DVI output on Invitrogen Medical Equipment?
    • Z
      zvegaSep 12, 2025
      To resolve the issue of the DVI output not working on an external LCD monitor or projector with your Invitrogen Medical Equipment, power off the EVOS™, check the cable connections, and then power the instrument back on. Also, make sure that the external display accepts DVI-D input (digital input), as a monitor with only analog input (DVI-A) will not display the EVOS™’ digital output.
