leica-tcs-sp5-bio | Regine Toelle reported Error Controller V1 after an hour of scanning. Problem reoccured after restart. Subsequent users did not report problems. Interogated with Mr Lüthi at Leica. Response: Lieber Herr Egger ZB Bei einem Neustart, wenn man etwas zu schnell mit Staren der SW war, hatte ich schon ähnliche Fehler. Wenn es während dem Betrieb auftritt, so ist es möglich, dass sich der eine oder andere Schrittmotor verschluckt und die Kommunikation sich dabei verhedert hat. Wenn es nicht regelmässig auftritt und ev noch eine Zusatzmeldung wie Stepper Motor 1….oder ähnlich heraus gibt, so ist es schwierig etwas genaueres darüber zu sagen. Meist hängt es aber mit dem Scanner zusammen, wenn das System sich auf diese Art verschluckt. Ich würds erst mal weiter beobachten. Wenn es beim Aufstarten passiert ist, so würde ich auch noch die Revolverstellung am Mikroskop prüfen. Wenn da die Position nicht eingerastet ist, so gibt es auch komische Fehler heraus, weil das Abfragezeitfenster überschritten wird. Ä schöne Tag und Grüsse Andreas Lüthi | no |

leica-dmi6000b-bio | Issue nr1: sometimes the camera view is different from the eyepieces view and I see part of the field that is very bright and part of it black. If I restart the software and the microscope by the controller, usually the issue stops (but the next time I use the microscope it happens again). Issue nr 2: during time lapse recording, the background intensity increases in one frame and comes back to normality in the following frame. This happens anytime during a long recording (1h), disturbing the measurements because I get a noisy trace. Again, sometimes it happens, sometimes not. (I have some examples to explain this more easily) |

leica-tcs-sp5-bio | Problems with Argon laser shut downs. Probably caused by interruption in the air extraction system (400m3/hr). Bimetallswitch secures overheating of the laser and switches off the power. Restart is necessary to reinitiate the laser. Sanitär engineer and Siemens are working on the problem. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-bio | Hello, I have had a few, what I think are, software problems since the confocal moved. The first is a problem with the set up of tile scans. After I mark the positions and I start the imaging or go back to live, the positions shifted. It is only a little, but really annoying when I position my sample and after I made the picture the top of the sample is just of screen. The second problem might be related is that the merge often is poorly done (which I can fix myself with Fiji). The last one is that during the merge the program stops working regularly. You then have to restart the program, re-initialize, etc. I hope my message makes sense Stage was not screwed on properly. Problem solved (BE) | no |

leica-tcs-sp5-bio | Across a number of confocal sessions, the most recent being 01.07.15, I have experienced a drop in (perceived) Argon laser power. Using the same laser power under the "Configuration" and "Acquire" tabs, I noticed that after ~30 minutes the intensity of both the fluorescent and brightfield channels dropped noticeably. After this drop, the intensity either fluctuates briefly between low and high, before staying low, or stays low. | no |
ge-deltavision-elite-med | From COTTIER Stephanie: Ai fait une session de microscopie ce matin sur le Delta vision. Quand j'ai voulu éteindre la console centrale (qui commande l'allumage de l'ordinateur), rien ne s'est produit, les indicateurs lumineux verts sont restés allumés. | no |
visitron_csu-w1 | Please be aware that currently the automatic laser safety shutter is not working. Hence never look trough the eyepieces or look directly at your sample when you are in live or acquisition mode. For safety close the occular shutter before going to live mode. Before you open occular shutter and look trough occular make sure lasers are not active. If you have questions don’t hesitate to contact me or any other member of the Bioimage Team. | no |

She restarted the program and there was a run time error appearing. Can u look into this and delete my booking on 12.05.14 from 7-8pm? THX& have a good night, LA | no |
hamamatsu-nanozoomer-med | There were a couple of slides falling down during unloading. The system (maybe not optimally calibrated) seems to be more sensitive to minor irregularities on the slides. PLEASE CHECK CAREFULLY THE BORDERS OF YOUR SLIDES (IDEALLY BEFORE MOUNTING YOUR SAMPLE) AND REMOVE ANY GLUE, OR OTHER OBSTACLES. | no |
hamamatsu-nanozoomer-med | The slowness of the NDP Viewer is due to the Microsoft security essentials. The process needs to be excluded from surveilence to work around the problem. | no |
hamamatsu-nanozoomer-med | The arrangement of the fiber and the swtich for the fluorescence lamp is not obtimal. When pushing the switch on and off one always risks to touch the fiber and compromise the alignment. The fiber should be attached better. Think about taking the switch from the lamphouse and put it with a cable away from the fiber. | no |

leica-tcs-sp5-med | Hello, I could not get the DIC picture. I can see the cells in BF in the microscope but when I switch to computer I could not see them. Sincerely, Shirish Mishra(8660) | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | I booked the SP5 confocal in Med Dpt but I didn't manage to see my sample at the microscope with the bright field. The person before me didn't use the bright field. So I don't know if it's a trouble in the settings or if the lamp should be replaced by a new one. My collegue will need also the bright field this thursday. Could you let me know if she should book another confocal? Thanks. Laure Bapaume | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | I would like to draw ur attention on the fact that the last 2 times (19.02, 03.03)we have booked the confocal. the DAPI was not working properly. On this base, we were not able to take paper quality picture and would appreciate if the fee would be waived.I am not sure why the UV light is still unstable...have u had any other reports? they have the pictures and we can send/show them to you. THX for your help, Lavinia | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Dear Confocal users, recently we found that the laser power button wasn't switched off, probably meaning that it was on all the weekend... Please, try to avoid such incidents in order to maintain the best performance of the lasers! | no |
hamamatsu-nanozoomer-med | Dear Nanozoomer users, if there is no more storage space on the computer of the NanoZoomer, it will become impossible to make new scans. Please, move and then delete all your data which is still on the PC to free some space! Thanks in advance, Viktoria | no |

leica-dm6000b-med | The Demo R2 camera was sent back and replaced by our old C4742-95-12NR. The tests in Japan did not show any sign of malfunction, thus no problem was confirmed by Hamamatsu. After installation the image acquisition works again with the Hokawo software | no |
leica-dm6000b-med | The Hokagawo software does not manage to capture an image at this time. The HCimage works without problems. | no |
leica-dm6000b-med | Köhlered the microscope and cleaned the condenser lense | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-bio | I booked the confocal this afternoon. Unfortunately when I started the software, it was indicated "Fatal error: no board detected", and I cannot work. Nothing changed even after restarting the sofware or the computer. Laure Bapaume | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | The technician from Manheim, Hefner, was here. He re-calibrated the pinhole and was not able to reproduce the irregular behaviour (inconsistency between the signal and shown pinhole opening) after that. According to him the pinhole might not have to be changed after all. The alignment of the UV laser was fine-tuned (more power gets though now). The new shutter for the argon laser was installed. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-bio | Markus Hefner Leica Microsystems re-calibrated Pinhole. There was no need to exchange pinhole. Guarantee work after software update to LAS AF 2.7.3 | no |
leica-dm6000b-med | The microscope need adjusting | no |

leica-tcs-spe-ii-bio | Anne-Sophie used the SPE II this afternoon and reports: My session went quite well. I got much better quality pictures than before. I was doing mosaic and stacks at the same time. It crashed the software 3x. It's probably a little too much for the software… Here is the error message that I got: Please close software Unexpected error on scan DM55oo stage Ctrl Class:1 Code:-1 Text: amserial2:FT – 10 – ERROR (errorcode:4) | no |
zeiss-axioplan-med | Re installed the LEP Stage | no |
hamamatsu-nanozoomer-med | Changed the mercury lamp. Counter: 1748 hours | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | The DAPI signal appears to be generally weak. The light path of the UV has to be checked and fine-tuned. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Maintenance Session with Andreas Lüthi: The laser was realigned and The AOBF was changed (Incidents 20 + 37). The shutter did not arrive in time for installation. But Leica will offer a new pinhole, since apparently the weird behaviour is caused by a bad firmware. Hence we will get the pinhole on warranty. The session lasted form 9:15-14:45 | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Hi Felix, This morning I found the confocal on, apparently the user who booked it for yesterday afternoon didn't come or didn't switch it off. We wrote already thousands of times that people should always come when they book, especially if it's the last user of the day. But it continues to happen again and again... Could you please write a round email to the users of the group to remind them the user policies? Thanks a lot, Viktoria | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | The shutter of the Argon laser needs to be replaced. Careful, tilting backwards the condenser of the microscope does currently not interrupt the light path of the Argon laser. Make sure to switch of "live mode" before manipulating your slide! | no |

leica-tcs-sp5-med | Changed the Glycerin bottle | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | The pinhole behaves a bit weirdly. (it starts beeing shut around 80 microns already). Seems to be similar to the problem we already had. Also we should change the unit of the pinhole parameter into airy-units instead of microns. | no |
zeiss-axioplan-med | The Microscope is not in use at this time. The stage has been sent to MBF to resolve the precision errors we were recently experiencing. The Stage should be back in about two weeks (23. Oct.) | no |
hamamatsu-nanozoomer-med | There is a problem with the mechanic arm or the stage, the slides fell down. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Increasing the overlap of the frames til 25% (instead of 10%), didn't solve the issue. The mosaic was still improperly reconstituted. | no |

zeiss-axioplan-med | The stage has an impresision when changing direction in x-direction. it's off about 7um. The Instrument is workable, but you should undertake a backlash correction before using it. | no |
cosmos-workstation-med | The machine can't boot anymore (blue-screen) | no |
zeiss-axioplan-med | The Stage makes a strange noise when reaching the end of travel in x-direction. Workaround: try to avoid travelling all the way to the end of x-axis. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | The sliders for the PMT detectors seem to have crosstalk if they are close together. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Lüthi Maintenance session | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | For the AOBS1 Leica borrowed us a driver. Our driver just broke and needs to be repaired or we have to buy a new one. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | 20x objective replaced. The new objective is a confocal-grade, dry one with better corrections and higher NA (0.7). | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Replacing the ventilators of the AOTF visual and AOBS1. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | The control computer is now part of the UNIFR domain. From now on all the confocal users have to login with their university login. If you need to login as TCS-User: medpc255\TCS-User and use the usual password | no |
cosmos-workstation-med | Installed FlowJo on the machine | no |
zeiss-axioplan-med | Stage faulty: sometimes does not respond when trying to move in the x axis. Can be temporarily fixed by restarting control box. Problem with either the joystick or the controller. Please check with MBF (Braul) and give fedback to Federica. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | The images acquired with bright-field illumination show a pattern (shade on the left third of the image) | no |
leica_tcs-sp5-med | 20x/Imm (multi-immersion) broken, replaced by 20x/0.5 Dry (Lent by Leica). | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Changed Glycerin immersion liquid bottle. (it was empty far too soon) | no |
leica-dmrxa-med | Get a Spot camera adapter and make the configurations for micromanager to control the camera | no |
leica-dmrxa-med | Upgrading the control computer. The new machine drives and controls the Spot color mosaic camera with the Spot software. | no |
cosmos-workstation-med | The R-server crashes if the input table contains a Bitmask type (image processing plugin). Since with R there is no manipulation to be done on such data, the workaround is to filter the columns. On the other hand the server needs to be restarted. | no |
leica-dm6000b-med | Replacing screen with 24'' display. | no |
leica-dm6000b-med | Rearranged the working place. Installed new table, Rollconatiner and chair. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Get new Immersion liquids 1 new bottle of oil (Leica) 1 new bottle of glycerol (Leica) | no |
leica-dmrbe-med | Changing of the control computer. Instigated by the DIT for 2013 (stop of win XP support). The camera uses now the Baumer drivers allowing to control it with Micromanager. | no |
leica-mz-16-fa-med | Exchange of the control computer. Instigated by the DIT for 2013 (stop of win XP support) It's using the Baumer drivers now, allowing to control the leica camera with MicroManager. | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | AOTF needs to be replaced. The ventilators broke down and some of the electronic components got damaged due to overheating | no |
leica-dm6000b-med | Exchange of the Mercury lamp. 5600 hours. next lamp change at 6000 hours | no |
leica-tcs-sp5-med | Argon laser and fibre (light guide) exchanged | no |
Why use it?
The Open Microscopy Environment aims to facilitate the handling of microscopy data as much as possible. For you this translates into the following features:
- Organized and searchable database (find your data by experimenter, acquisition date, annotation…)
- Easy access to your data: Connect with ImageJ, the OMERO Insight client or your web-browser
- You can easily share your data with collaborators (single images, experiments, projects…)
- No more image exporting. Instead of exporting the images from the microscopy software and loose all the meta-data, we import to OMERO.
- Transparent metadata: Acquisition parameter like pixel-size, excitation wavelength, emission-wavelength etc. can be viewed at any time when browsing images
- Easy vector graphics figure creation for article publication.
- Facilitated and save transfer from the microscope on the server.
- Facturing of the server space on the GB basis (as compared to 0.5TB by the DIT)
- Fully integrated authentication: Users can login with their UniFr credentials
