Dear all,

The scanhead of the Zeiss710 was broken, which is why the machine behaved badly over the last couple of weeks.
Johannes put in a new scanhead and now the system should be stable again.
The argon laser is also rather at the end of his life (7700hours already), although it might still work for a couple of months (the previous one lasted 9600hours).
Please let me know when you see the laser output going down severely as we then need to exchange the argon laser.

Have fun imaging,

Daniel
