Announcing EVOS M5000 Software Revision 1.8.3076.262

Revision 1.8.3076.262 contains improvements and bug fixes for a better user experience.

Review the Installation Instructions below before updating your software.

• A two-pass autofocus mechanism in addition to the existing single-pass autofocus option. Two-pass autofocus has been set as the default, providing improved focus, accuracy and consistency.

Note: After installation of this new process, previous versions of the software cannot be loaded on the system anymore.
