[Physiofaculty] Zeiss #3 Widefield

[Brzostowski, Joseph (NIH/NIAID) [E]]

Dear All,

This message is extremely important to read through...

We lowered the stage on the Zeiss #3 Widefield to accommodate focus for cover slip bottom 96 well plates.  There is now the possibility for you to drive the stage into objectives or crack coverslips with an objective if you raise the turret too high.  As long as take care in focusing, there shouldn't be a problem.

Please note that the 10x has been removed from the system (due to the working range on this lens, it can cause problems if you move the stage).  Let us know if you need us to put it back on.

Zeiss #2 has a piezo stage from a different manufacturer and is working with the plates.

We will hang a sign to warn you.

Best,

Joe
