[Confocal] Leica SP2: stage not working, not possible to mark positions
by Evelien Mylle 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Dear SP2 users, The stage button is not visible in the software, making it impossible to mark positions. I assume this is related to a previous problem: not possible to log into the software with the 'personal profile' but only with the 'company profile'. For the moment you can again log in with 'personal profile', but still the stage option is not visible. The company is contacted and I hope to get answer soon.

[Confocal] Zeiss 710: the pathway is not longer blocked, but difference focus at microscope and confocal scanning
by Evelien Mylle 28 May '18

28 May '18

Dear 710 users, The problem of blocked pathway is (partially) solved: - Pathway is no longer blocked. - You will still get 2 errors, that you can ignore (one about tube lens and one about 'not expected answer'). You can ignore these errors. - The only thing you have to take into account is: focussing through the microscope will NOT give you a focused image when scanning. Keep in mind that you will have to adapt the focus a lot when switching to scanning mode. (sometimes a lot especially when imaging with the 60x lens) This is because the engine of the tube lens at the bottom of the microscope - required for keeping the same focus when switching between microscope view and scanning view - is not working properly anymore. Therefore we didn't had the appropriate tube lens and we got the error messages. This also caused the pathway to be blocked. As temporary solution the tube lens has been fixed to the scanning mode. The error messages stays because at start up the software always checks the tube lens (which he can not find anymore for the moment). Also the focus will not be adapted when switching between microscope view and scanning view. The engine is ordered and will normally be installed also during maintenance at the end of the month. In case of problems, don't hesitate to contact Daniel or me.
