The INVITROGEN™ EVOS™ FL IMAGING SYSTEM is a fully integrated, digital, inverted imaging system for four-color fluorescence and transmitted-light applications. It combines precision optics, a 15 inch high-resolution LCD display, and a highly sensitive Sony ICX445 monochrome CCD camera (1280 × 960 pixel resolution, 1.3 Megapixels) to acquire images seamlessly through the intuitive user.
