Zeiss LSM 710
4 LSM 710 – Quick Guide MFPL BioOptics - Light Microscopy
No excitation light while scanning
1.
Check if the Argon laser is turned on (key in position 1, see step #4 in the 'Startup' chapter).
2.
On the Main Power unit, check if the Laser key is in ON position (horizontal, see image below).
3.
Check if the transmitted light column is in upright position (which activates a magnetic sensor
beneath the column). If seated properly, a LED on the scan head should burn while scanning. If
not, pull the transmitted light column to a fully upright position (see image below).
4.
Check the Argon laser power supply for two red LEDs (POWER and INTERLOCK). If the
INTERLOCK LED is off, exit ZEN, power off the power supply and turn it on again (ON/OFF
switch beneath the thick cable. Do NOT use the Mains or Component Switches).
5.
Contact the facility if the problem persists.
