Dear all, The 559nm laser of the FV1000 confocal is back online. There was a shutter within the laser combiner which was jammed. Please let me know if the problem re-occurs, because then Olympus will exchange the motor driving the shutter. Also note that when starting up the pc, it will start with a login which is currently olympus and no password (see the note on the screen). have fun imaging, daniel -- ================================================================== Daniel Van Damme Tel:+32 (0)9 331 39 33 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM dadam@psb.vib-ugent.be http://www.psb.vib-ugent.be ==================================================================
