  • Detector

    • Hamamatsu ORCA Flash V2 C11440-22CU CMOS Monochrome Camera 2048 x 2048 pixels, 16-bit, 30fps at full frame

  1. Turn on the computer
  2. Turn on the microscope power bar
  3. If incubation is required, turn on the Okolab incubation module (3A and 3B) and open the CO2 (3C) and N2 (3D) tanks

    Make sure the water bath is clean and properly filled with distilled water

  4. Log in Windows using your UdM credentials
  5. Start-up NIS-Elements

The first time you log in the computer, you need to import the microscope settings. To do this follow the instructions Setting-up NIS-Elements

  1. Save your data
  2. Close NIS-Elements
  3. Transfer your data to the D: drive (Data Storage) or to your external drive and delete it from the local C: drive
  4. Get your samples from the microscope
  5. Clean the oil objectives with lens cleaner and lens paper
  6. If incubation was used, turn off the incubation module (3A and 3B) and close the CO2 (3C) and N2 (3D) tanks
  7. Turn off the microscope power bar (2)
  8. Cover the microscope

Important Reminders

  • Take back your samples including ones in the microscope
  • Leave the microscope and the working area clean
  • Files can be saved temporarily (during acquisition) on the local C: drive (desktop)
  • At the end of each session, copy your data to your external drive and delete it from the local C: drive
  • You can store your files on the D: drive (Data Storage). If you do, please create a folder per laboratory using the principal investigator last name. Within, create one folder per user (Firstname_Lastname).

In any case, your files should be removed from the C: drive.

This process is required the first time you are using the instrument. You will usually do it during the training session. It can also be performed if something is not working properly right or if you want to refresh the software interface.

This process will delete all experiment protocols and restore the parameters for the microscope.

  1. Close NIS-Elements
  2. Wait until the complete closure of NIS-Elements
  3. Open the folder Desktop\Logiciels
  4. Open the software NIS Settings Utility
  5. Click on the Import tab
  6. Click on Browse
  7. Navigate to your desktop
  8. Select the file Nikon-Ti2 Settings.bin
  9. Click Select
  10. Select all items
  11. Click Import
  12. Click OK
  13. Close the NIS Settings
  14. Open NIS-Elements

Liquid forming in the incubation chamber

This happens when the mixed-gas humidifier is overfilled. Bubbles created by the gas going through the humidifier can bring liquid into the gas feed line.

  • Turn off the Okolab module
  • Remove your sample and store it properly
  • Dry the incubation chamber with a clean tissue
  • Carefully remove the cap of the humidifier glass bottle

Pay extra care when manipulating the humidifier bottle as it is made of glass and is very fragile

  • Remove distilled water from the humidifier

Humidifier shouldn't be more than 2/3rd filled

  • Close the humidifier by replacing the cap
  • Turn on the Okolab module

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

  • Yes. This 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
