[Confocal] olympus confocal: do NOT switch off the argon laser (and laser combiner)

Dear confocal users, The Argon laser (458-488-515) is about to retire, after 8000 hours of use... For the moment he is still active, but please do NOT switch off till the new one is installed! Also the TD channel is still not active. This part went to the company for repairement. I will keep you informed when reparations are done.
