for a minimum of 30 minutes. Do not turn the
lamp off if another user is scheduled within 2

Secondly, turn on the Power Supply 2 by
flipping the switch which will have a green
light turn on.
Third, you will need to go in between the
microscope and the power supplies to press
the button below the yellow sticker with the
number 3. See image to the right. This will
turn on the TFT Display, shown adjacently, and
please wait for this display to fully load before
proceeding.
Lastly, turn on the Apotome power supply
labeled with a yellow 4 sticker.
The computer should be on and logged in with your LSUHSC ID and password. Make sure the domain is set to
LSUMC-MASTER, selected from the drop-down menu. If you only wish to access documents/files, then login
and do not turn on the mercury lamp power supply or the other buttons. Please indicate this on the sign in
sheet.
