[Confocal] Zeiss710: 'jumps' in line formation of image

Dear Zeiss 710 confocal users, There is an issue with the scanning on the Zeiss 710, causing some 'jumps' in the image formation. Please take a look at the pictures. The jumps are indicated with an arrow. I assume this is also related to the noise we recently hear during the scanning. A temporary solution (or perhaps partially) would be to scan at rotation 90° in stead of rotation 0, as this makes more use of the Y scanhead in stead of the X scanhead, which is probably a bit overworked. Also the noise in this setup is less. In the test sample I observed jumps when scanning with rotation 0° , but not with rotation 90°. (but could be also dued to sample as in this direction jumps are more difficult to see) The company is contacted and I will update you.

Dear all, Technician of Zeiss will come on 16/05. Sarah, Tom, Inge, Xiaopeng, Please keep this in mind for your scheduled experiments that day. Johannes will come somewhere that day, but no idea when. Gr, Evelien

Dear all, The scanners of the Zeiss 710 are replaced and everything is working well again. Thanks Alvaro for informing me about the problem. Enjoy imaging! Gr, Evelien
