What Was Down!
2003
The Leica4D confocal (Viceroy) is no longer connected to the Medical School Network, and hence the entire internet, including the Cytic_Fibrosis domain. Scanning can still be performed and the 100 MByte Zip drive can be used to transfer data. OIS has discontinued the sub-network that the 4D was assigned to on Feb. 18, 2003 as a final act in a 5 year plan to give the 152.2. subnet back to the main campus, and block that subnet in the Medical School. Unfortunately the 4D OS9-VME computer can not be easily be migrated to the Medical School subnet. Hence the 4D is isolated from the network. Alternative solutions are being investigated, but are limited by the potential fragility of the two unsupported operating systems that are an essential part of the 4D confocal.
Nov 19. - Perkin Elmer Ultraview spinning disk conofcal - Software non longer detects/runs camera and shutter after upgrade to version 5.2. Perkin Elmer will be back on Nov 25 to start to complete repares.
2002 September: Meta detector is need of alignment on the Zeiss 510 meta. A service request has been made. ref. no. 188749. The Meta detector is still useable, however the sensitivity is not as high as it should be.
2002-08-29: Leica SP2 confocal is unavailable for acquisition since the upright microscope stand's mechanical focus system is running erratically, and is apt to smash slides. Analysis may be performed on the machine, but the microscope control box should not be turned on.
2002 May: Hamamatsu B/W C5985 cooled camera on the Leica
inverted fluorescent microscope (computer:
Fresnel formerly
Huygens) is not functional. An
OrcaER cooled B/W camera is currently installed, and will be replaced with a
DVC1312. Image acquisition with all the cameras on this setup may be
done using C-Imaging
