Dear all,
...
The Leica SP8 can be used again. But without the option to visualize your sample
at the microscope with brightfield. Either fluorescence or directly through
confocal imaging.
However the problem is detected. The sensor to switch the mirrorin the
microscope is broken.
This part will be ordered and renewed. Estimation is that this would be
beginning next week.

Leica technician will come on Monday.

Lucas, Balkan,
Most probably a big part of your session will be used for intervention.

Dear all,

The problems with visualizing your sample through the microscope on the Leica
SP8 got worse.
We now also have the situation that we have no light at all at the microscope.
Switching between live view (in the LAS X software), and/or by switching the
lens, and/or switching between DIC and POL light (microscope setting), and the
shutters sometimes helps.
Restarting the PC doesn't seem to help much, but you can always try.

Company will come.
Sorry for this inconvenience,

Dear all,

The Leica SP8 gives sometimes problems when looking through the microscope to
your sample: there is less light and you don't get your sample nicely in focus.
It can be solved by clicking (several times) on live view (in the LAS X
software), and/or by switching the lens, and/or switching between DIC and POL
light (microscope setting).
Closing and restarting the PC sometimes helps, but not always, and it is very
time consuming. So, I would go for the above options.
I assume that there is some kind of filter that gets blocked.
...
...
...
...
Keep this in mind when doing your imaging especially if you are doing
treatments, as it could take a bit more time to set up your imaging.

...
...
I will keep you updated.
