Objectives:
- Position1: Objective Plan-Apochromat
- Position2:
Objective Plan-Apochromat
- Position3: Objective Plan-Apochromat
- Position4: Objective
- Objective Plan-Apochromat
- Objective Plan-Apochromat 40x / NA 1.2 Water (not mounted)
Laser lines: 405, 488, 561, 640 nm
Detectors:
Two very sensitive Gallium arsenide phosphide photomultiplier tube (GaAsP PMTs) detectors
with free choice of the spectral range. (Uses a tunable short pass and band pass filter in front
of the PMTs)
Be very careful with using it to prevent instrument damage! If oversaturated, detectors will
switch off automatically.
1 GaASP
PMT for the
mode (detection range adjustable by a tunable short pass and a tunable long pass filter, no
bandpass filters)
An ESID detector for transmitted light.
Simultaneous detection of 3 dyes possible.
VII. Starting up:
1. Switch on the multiple socket (1)

Turn on Cool LED (by pressing Big blue on/off button), if you need it for visual examination and don’t forget to close the shutter when you don’t need it or at the end of your session.
  • Page 3 • Select the ‘Acquisition’ tab in the main menu of Zen blue • Go to “Smart Setup” choose your dyes (set the LUT) and configuration, you can choose between simultaneous (fastest), Best compromise line scanning mode (Smart) and sequential (best signal) scan, press ”Apply”. (Avoid Line mode as it blocks the changing of filters and sliders, therefore any change will affect all the track!)
  • Page 4 • Set pinhole to Airy Unit (AU) 1 in the channel dialog to achieve confocality. Note, that activating the ‘1AU’ button by clicking on it once (gets light blue background color) fixes the pinhole to 1AU. In this case, the match pinhole function in the Z-stack setup will not change pinhole sizes. •...

  • Page 6 Switching off: 1. DO NOT save any “Experiment” or overwrite the default “Experiment” (marked with a home logo) as this setting will be used in the next startup of the system and might cause potential damage to GaAsP PMTs. 2. Close the ZEN Software 3.
  • Page 7: Laser Safety Instructions

    Laser Safety Instructions  During operation of class 3B and class 4 lasers red warning lights have to be switched on manually  Red warning light at the door of the room, containing laser-based equipment, prohibits the entrance  Optical path of the laser beam at all setups has to stay intact and should never be disassembled by a user.
