2018-08-27 (3i Spinning Disk Confocal): 3i SDC, new light source The mercury lamp on the 3i spinning disk confocal has been replaced with an HXP 120 metal halide lamp for fluorescence imaging. Instructions for lamp operation are posted at the 3i system. All other microscope functions are the same. Please use the microscope as previously instructed. |
2018-08-27: LSM 510-meta offline until further notice As you may know, the Zeiss LSM510 (Meta 2) has been removed from the reservation calendar and will be offline indefinitely.Meta 2 has had issues ranging from internet connection to user login. The frequency of these issues is increasing, and most recently, the Zen software stopped communicating with the microscope (preventing data acquisition). Zeiss has ended service contracts for LSM510s so we must pursue repairs elsewhere. We are actively exploring our options and will keep you posted. In the meantime, the remaining data files from the 510’s local temp drive are now stored at \\162.129.230.229\TempStorage4\Meta2LocalTemp. If you are not already familiar with the other confocal systems at the Microscope Facility, please email us. We apologize to our loyal Meta2 users, and we thank you all for being good community users! |
