[Confocal] please do NOT switch the PC and the software CherryBiotech off on the Zeiss 710 till further notice
by Evelien Mylle 19 May '17

Dear all, As we are testing the stability of a program CherryBiotech on the Zeiss 710, please do not switch this software, neither the PC. When you finish, you can switch off the argon laser, but not the PC. Thanks!

[Confocal] Cannot make reservation for FV10
by Jasmien Vercruysse 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hello, About 1 year ago, I followed the course for the confocal microscope FV10 ASW confocal. In the coming weeks, I would like to use it, but I noticed I cannot make any reservations for the FV10, using the PSB planner. Could you help me make a reservation by giving me access? Thanks in advance, Ciao, Jasmien Jasmien Vercruysse - Predoctoral fellow Systems Biology Of Yield VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology Ghent University Technologiepark 927 - 9052 Ghent - Belgium Tel. +32(0)9 331 39 56 [ http://www.psb.ugent.be/ | www.psb.ugent.be ]

Hallo Jan, Is het mogelijk om in de toekomst dergelijke mails naar confocal(a)psb.vib-ugent.be te sturen? Dit om de niet-confocale gebruikers te ontlasten van te veel mails. Zelf schrijf je je best ook in om dergelijke emails te ontvangen. Als je dit nog niet gedaan hebt, kan je dit via de mailing list doen: https://intranet.psb.ugent.be/mail-lists Ergens onderaan pagina zie je 'confocal' met link to subscribe. Bedankt!

[Confocal] Zeiss710 Argon laser
by Daniel Van Damme 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Dear all, Several people noticed reduced output of the Argon laser of the Zeiss710. We checked the laser output at the objective and it is reduced due to degradation of the crystal. The laser itself is still ok. Practically, the crystal degradation causes attenuation of the laser light, meaning that the laser output (% of 488nm that you control in the software) which effectively reaches your sample is reduced. We will replace the crystal it as it is only going to get worse, but until then, you can achieve similar images as before, just use the confocal at higher laser output percentage in the software. This will not change anything at the level of your sample as the crystal degradation reduces the laser light that reaches your sample. Crystal degradation influences 488nm laser light more than the other wavelengths, so other laser lines (like the 561nm) should behave more or less similar as before. Do not increase the output of the laser at the small box, this setting should remain under 6 amps (green led and not red) as this will reduce the laser life time dramatically. have fun imaging, d Prof. Dr. ir.
