    4. Turn on the microscope power bar on the right of the microscope (#3)

    5. Use your UdM credentials to log in to Windows

      Remarque

      When using for the first time, it is necessary to import the microscope-specific parameters BEFORE starting the software. See the First Use section below.

    UI Expand
    titleFirst Use
    When using for the first time, it is necessary to import the microscope-specific parameters into the software. This procedure is usually carried out during the training session.However, it is also possible to use it to reset the software if it is not displayed correctly, for example.
    Remarque

    Please note, this procedure will delete all your experiment protocols and restore the software to its original settings.

    1. If open, close the Zen Blue software and wait for it to close completely (up to 30 seconds)
    2. On the Desktop open the Documentation folder
    3. Double-click Settings for Axio-Observer Z1
    4. A script will run and a black window will appear briefly
    5. You can then reopen the Zen Blue software

    titleLoading samples

    This procedure puts the microscope in a safe configuration and performs a focus calibration. At the end of this procedure the microscope will be ready for acquisition.

    titleFocus Calibration Z

    On the microscope touch screen:

    1. Press Home>Load Position to lower the stage to its lowest position
    2. Press Set Work Position to store this position
    3. If necessary, move the focus slightly up to remove the “Lower Z limit reached” message displayed on the touchscreen
    4. Press Home>Microscope>Turret>Objectives>10x to select the 10x objective
    5. If asked, tap Done to remove the oil lens cleaning warning
    6. Press Home>Microscope>XYZ>Position>Z-Position>Set zero>Auto to perform focus calibration
    7. Press OK to start the focus calibration procedure
    8. Wait a few seconds for the calibration to be completed
    Remarque

    Once calibrated, the focus can be found at Z = 5 mm). The Z value can be found on the microscope touch screen Home>Z-Position

    UI Expand
    titleFirst focus
    Avertissement

    Make sure to calibrate the focus before performing the first focus.

    On the microscope touch screen:

    1. Press Home>Microscope>Turret>Objectives
    2. Press 10x to select the 10x lens
      Info

      The 10x objective is the safest because it has the longest working distance (5.3 mm). The sample will appear perfectly sharp long before the lens approaches it. It is recommended to always first focus with the safest lens. The objectives are para-focal, focusing with the safest objective will then allow you to easily find your sample with another objective.

    3. Press Home>Load Position to lower the stage to its lowest position
    4. Press Set Work Position to store this position
    5. If necessary, move the focus slightly up to remove the “Lower Z limit reached” message displayed on the touchscreen
    6. Place the test slide on the microscope stage with the coverslip toward the objective
      Remarque

      Always use the test slide to perform the first focus.

    7. If necessary, move the stage so that the sample is centered on the objective

    On the computer:

  • Open the Zen Blue software
  • In the Locate tab, select BF or the desired fluorescence ((CFP/GFP/DsRed ou GFP/RFP/Cy5, etc…) to activate the configuration
  • Adjust the focus with the main dial while looking through the eyepieces until the image is perfectly sharp
    Remarque

    Once calibrated, the focus can be found at Z = 5 mm). The Z value can be found on the microscope touch screen Home>Z-Position

    titleFocusing with air objectives

    This microscope does not have additional air objectives. However, if there were, the procedure would be as follows:

    After performing the first focus, on the microscope touch screen:

    1. Press Home>Microscope>Turret>Objectives
    2. Press on the desired lens

    In Zen Blue software:

    1. In the Locate tab, select BF or the desired fluorescence (CFP/GFP/DsRed ou GFP/RFP/Cy5, etc…) to activate the configuration
    2. Adjust the focus with the precision dial while looking through the eyepieces until the image is perfectly sharp
    3. In the Locate tab, select Off to turn the illumination off
    4. Your sample is ready for acquisition!
    UI Expand
    titleFocusing with oil lenses

    After performing the first focus, on the microscope touch screen:

  • Press Home>Microscope>Turret>Objectives
  • Press 63x Oil (1.4)or 100x Oil (1.4) to select the desired lens. The microscope will automatically lower the stage so that the sample is accessible.
    Info

    The 63x objective is the best oil objective because it has the most optical corrections (Plan Apochromat) and the largest numerical aperture (1.4). It offers a lateral resolution of 240nm at a wavelength of 550nm.

  • Remove your sample from the microscope
  • Place a drop of oil on the objective
  • Replace your sample from the microscope
  • Press Done. The microscope will automatically return the sample to its original position
  • In Zen Blue software:

    1. In the Locate tab, select BF or the desired fluorescence (CFP/GFP/DsRed ou GFP/RFP/Cy5, etc…) to activate the configuration
    2. Adjust the focus with the precision dial while looking through the eyepieces until the image is perfectly sharp

    (FIXED) Problem with the FRAP module:
    At first could not modulate the laser intensity (yet could not find the spot on the field), rebooted and then the FRAP fiber does not carry any light (even 488)
    ==> Laser manipulation module was too far in x and y (noticeable as a tilt and a gap between both parts of the module).

    titleI don't see my sample

    The A spinning disk is a multipoint confocal.Outside is a multipoint confocal: due to the confocality, signal is restricted to the focal plane. Outside of the focal plane, the sample disappears completelyis not visible. It is therefore thus easier to find your sample through the eyepieces.Follow the tuning procedure to achieve thisthe proper focal plane using the oculars (wide-field signal). Please refer to first focus" procedure on the "loading samples" tab.

    titleI don't see any fluorescence!

    The best way to solve a problem in Microscopy is to follow the light path. You will find in the Light path tab of this page, the diagrams which will allow you to follow the light all along its path through the microscope.

    1. Open the light path file
    2. Starting from the light source and moving towards the detector, verify that there is indeed light after each component of the microscope

    titleCan I use this microscope to look at cell in a dish?

    Yes. It is an inverted microscope designed for the observation of living specimens. The spinning disk is particularly appreciated for its limited phototoxicity and low out-of-focus backgroundThis is an inverted microscope designed to look at specimen in a dish or a multi-well plate. The objectives are optimized to image through thin glass bottom multi-well plates. You may also image specimen mounted between a slide and a 0.17mm thick coverslip.
