ZEISS LSM 880 INVERTED (i880) QUICK START GUIDE

The Zeiss LSM880 is a laser scanning confocal microscope with full confocal and multiphoton capability. The

confocal detectors are spectrally resolved and can be used with either the standard (single photon) excitation

lines or the multiphoton excitation lines. The non-descanned (NDD) detectors can only be used with multiphoton

excitation.

INSTRUMENT OVERVIEW

AND USER RESOURCES

FULL TURN ON SEQUENCE (FIRST ONE ON)

1) If the computer is off, turn it on and let it boot.

2) Turn on the main switch.

3) Turn on the Systems/PC switch. (When

8) Remove your sample and clean off your

objective. (If using incubation, turn temp and

CO2 regulation off and close CO2 tank using

main gray valve only.)

7) Turn off lasers.

6) Exit Zen.

5) Log out of the computer.
