Installing EVOS
®
in a Cell Culture Hood
The small footprint of the EVOS
®
XL Core Imaging System, its simple power
connection, and its easily-viewed display make it quick to install and convenient
to use in a cell culture hood.
The EVOS
XL Core Imaging System will fit in cell culture hoods that are at least
18 inches (457 mm) deep. If your cell culture hood is smaller, it may be necessary
to turn the instrument at a slight angle to fit.
