The FlowCam® 5000
After more than 20 years and more than 400 sold units, the new FlowCam 5000 is the most affordable model in the FlowCam family. The 5000 comes with a selectable, but not exchangeable objective with 4x, 10x or 20x magnification and a manual focus system.
Like other FlowCam models, the 5000 uses the VisualSpreadsheet® software, which offers more than 40 morphological parameters for measurement evaluations. The FlowCam 5000 is capable of measuring particles in the range of 3µm to 300µm with the automated, high throughput measurements you are used to from FlowCam systems.
