[Confocal] Zeiss Exciter is running now on Windows 7 with the Zen 2009 software and some change in emission filters
by Evelien Mylle 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Dear all, The PC of the Zeiss Exciter has been converted to Windows 7, which allows the use of the Zen 2009 software (the same as for the Zeiss 710). Please note that you should select 'WINDOWS 7' (and NOT windowd Vista) after starting up the computer. Also some emission filters are changed, which allows better imaging of RFP in channel 1 (bandpass filters are available now to eliminate the autofluorescence, whereas before there were only long pass filters available). In detail: LP 530 and LP 560 are moved from ch 1 to ch2 and BP 530-560 and BP 560-615 are moved from ch 2 to ch 1. This can result in problems when reloading your settings. Do check your emission filters after reloading! In case of questions or problems please contact Daniel or me.

Dear confocal users, The DIC of the olympus confocal is operational again. Please note that the reload issue is still a problem. So reloading settings from image still requires checking and adapting the correct DM yourself! In case of problems please inform Daniel or me.
