While the upgrade of the LSM700 inv in LBE is still in progress, we also rearranged the position of both the LSM880 and LSM700 in LBE to improve your workspace with the new arrangement. Works for the LSM700->800 upgrade are still ongoing today and we planned intros on the new LSM800-2 inv tomorrow – please be aware that it can get crowded during the intros. In addition, all compressed air connections are newly installed and all pressure settings have been reset. Do not make any adjustments to any air outlet!! Please ask for assistance when you do not know which Read More …

With the introduction of the new ZEN 2.5 software on our new LSM800 systems, we uncovered some things that do not work optimally for us. Most importantly, the ‘Match Pinholes’ does not work, and instead of matching the pinholes to create equal optical sections per wavelength, this option now opens the pinholes completely! Opening the pinhole might overexpose the detectors and damage them: Do not use the ‘match pinhole’ option in ZEN 2.5 when setting up your Z-stack until further notice. We are in contact with Zeiss and ope for a solution soon!

We are in the process of upgrading our LSM700 systems to LSM800 systems. All systems will get new lasers, scan heads, computers and the systems will make use of the new ZEN 2.5 software interface. To implement these upgrades  and new features, we are organising a series of introductions. please sign up for the intro timely, so you keep your permission to work on these systems.

Dear all, we are working on a new site for the bioimaging facility, where it will become easier to find information and keep informed. please check back soon tp stay updated … best regards, the BIF team
