Turning on the lasers
"
Open the
Laser Tool
in the left tool area (always the first in the list) and activate the lasers you need
for your experiment (Fig. 10). Remember, the argon multi-line laser has to first be put to standby for a
5 minute warm-up before it changes to on.
"
Zeiss recommends operating the Argon multi-line Laser at a tube current of about 6 A (
#
50 %
output). This is the best compromise between laser stability/power and laser life-time. (tube-current
control can be found in
Pro Mode
).
