Dear SP2 users, Today I replaced again the brightfield light from the SP2. If this is again the case, please inform Daniel or me, or Kristof (techhelp) if we are not around to replace. For the very heavy SP2 weekend-users, It seems to break rather easy lately, which is very annoying. Especially if this is in the weekend. Perhaps I could show you how to replace? Please take contact with me if interested. But only for responsible people!!! Gr, Evelien

Dear SP2 users,
The transmission light of the SP2 seems to break rather fast (already 2 lamps replaced in the last month, which is exceptional). It can be solved by replacing the lamp. Please come to Daniel or me as we can easily exchange it. If we are not around, you can also ask Kristof (techhelp). A working transmission light gives a visible light at the left side of the microscope (see indicated black box at picture below). You only need this for visualizing your sample through the microscope (NOT for confocal imaging).
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Evelien
