EVOS M7000 Cell Imaging System

Announcing EVOS M7000 Software Revision 2.3.1295.203

Revision 2.3.1295.203 provides a bugfix for the microscope not recognizing the following light cubes:

• EVOS Light Cube, TagBFP 2.0, catalog number AMEP4968
• EVOS Light Cube, QDOT WB 525-800 2.0, catalog AMEP4966
• EVOS Light Cube, CFP-YFP EM 2.0, catalog number AMEP4969
• EVOS Light Cube, AO 2.0, catalog number AMEP4970

It also fixes a bug that would crash the software when one of these light cubes was installed and the Settings > Light Cubes tab was clicked.

This new release also fixes a bug where, when using the OSI-2 onstage incubator, the Settings > Incubator selections for activating Port2 and Port3 were logically reversed. (Note that both gases, CO2 and N2, are still controlled correctly in the software; this bug did not switch the assigned gases in the User Interface.)
