6 – LSM 880 Training Guide
Powering ON Lasers
Before we begin setting up the software for imaging, we first need to verify that our lasers are powered on. There is a
considerable wait time for the Argon laser to warm up (5 minutes) so please complete these steps first if the system is being
powered on from an off state.
1.
Select ‘Acquisition’ from the main toolbar.
2.
Expand the blue toolbar labeled ‘Laser’ and select ‘Argon’ from the laser list.
3.
Toggle ‘Power’ button from Off to On.
Note: This laser requires a 5-minute warm up time. Once you select
‘On’ the system will count down from 300 seconds. You will not be able
to use the laser until this warmup is complete.
4.
Turn ON remaining lasers (as required) from the software dialog
‘Laser’.
Note: The 405 laser is direct modulated and automatically powered on
when the laser is selected in the light path dialog.
The 561, 594 and 633 lasers can be powered on by selecting each laser
and switching from Off to On state.
