 ===== Microscope overview =====
-The Zeiss LSM 880 with Airyscan is a //confocal point-scanning microscope// able to generate high-resolution three-dimensional images of thick specimens with high sensitivity and low photodamage. It is an inverted microscope specially suitable for live cell imaging and photobleaching experiments, equipped with a large size incubator for temperature control and CO2 supply. Its [[http://www.zeiss.com/content/dam/Microscopy/Products/laser-scan/LSM%20880/zeiss-lsm880-airyscan-principle-672.jpg|Airyscan]] 32 channel area detector is able to collect all light from an Airy pattern simultaneously, allowing for increased resolution (140 nm laterally and 400 nm axially, at 488 nm). Its scanning unit further includes two PMT detectors (one of them cooled for single photon counting) as well as a GaAsP detector.  It is equipped with lasers from violet to far red (405, 458, 488, 561 and 633 nm excitation wavelengths). With this system you can perform optical sectioning of fluorescent samples which are too thick for a widefield system such as the [[bioimaging:zeiss_axiovert_200m|Zeiss Axiovert 200M]]. Image resolution and detection sensitivity are higher than faster confocal systems such as a spinning disk or the [[bioimaging:zeiss_7_live|Zeiss LSM 7 Live]], but image acquisition is slower. If you need to use a 594 nm laser or a 40x water objective for higher working distances, check the [[bioimaging:zeiss_lsm510_meta|Zeiss LSM 510 META]] confocal point-scanning system. If your personal computer cannot handle all the data you collected, check out the [[bioimaging:bigguy|Big Guy]].
+{{  :airyscan.jpg?0x380}} The Zeiss LSM 880 with Airyscan is a //confocal point-scanning microscope// able to generate high-resolution three-dimensional images of thick specimens with high sensitivity and low photodamage. It is an inverted microscope specially suitable for live cell imaging and photobleaching experiments, equipped with a large size incubator for temperature control and CO2 supply and with Definite Focus for hardware focus control during long time-lapse acquisitions. Its [[http://www.zeiss.com/content/dam/Microscopy/Products/laser-scan/LSM%20880/zeiss-lsm880-airyscan-principle-672.jpg|Airyscan]] 32 channel area detector is able to collect all light from an Airy pattern simultaneously, allowing for increased resolution (140 nm laterally and 400 nm axially, at 488 nm). Its scanning unit further includes two PMT detectors (one of them cooled) as well as a GaAsP detector for increased sensitivity (45% QE compared to ~25% QE for conventional PMT).  It is equipped with lasers from violet to far red (405, 458, 488, 514, 561, 594 and 633 nm excitation wavelengths). With this system you can perform optical sectioning of fluorescent samples which are too thick for a widefield system such as the [[zeiss_cell_observer|Zeiss Cell Observer]] or the [[zeiss_axiovert_200m|Zeiss Axiovert 200M]]. Image resolution with Airyscan is higher than the [[zeiss_lsm_710|Zeiss LSM 710]] and detection sensitivity is also higher than faster confocal systems such as the spinning disk [[3i_marianas_sdc|3i Marianas SDC]] or the //line scanning// [[zeiss_lsm_7_live|Zeiss LSM 7 Live]].

+===== Booking Rules =====
+The Zeiss LSM 710 booking is divided in three daily slots:
+|  9:00 to 13:00  |  13:00 to 17:00  |  17:00 to 21:00  |
+  - A **user** can book at maximum **2 sessions per week**
+  - Each **session must fit inside one of the three daily slots** (i.e. a session booked from 11:00 to 14:00 counts as 2 sessions)
+  - The above rules do not apply for **weekends** and for work days **before 9:00** and **after 21:00**
+  - The above rules do not apply for sessions booked on the very same day or **24 hours ahead**
+  - Exceptions to these rules require **approval from [[joserino@medicina.ulisboa.pt|José Rino]]**.
+  - Users must indicate which lasers they are going to use in the booking Description field
+  - Users must indicate if they will use the incubator in the booking Description field (write down 37C INCUBATOR)

-  * Start the **ZEN 2009** software.
-**After the 2 hours:**
-  * Turn on the metal halide lamp (white box to the left of the microscope).
-  * You may now start using the system.
-===== Microscope Turn Off procedures =====
-If there's another user for this microscope in the next two hours:
-  * Exit the **ZEN 2009** software, leave the lasers on and log off the computer.
-  * Clean up immersion objectives.
   * **Make sure that there really is another user going to use the microscope.**
 Else:
-  * Turn off the lasers, wait 5 min for them to cooldown.
+  * Turn off the lasers on **ZEN**
-  * Exit the **ZEN 2009** software and shut down the computer.
+  * Clean up any objective were you used immersion oil.
-  * Clean up immersion objectives.
+  * Exit the software, shut down the computer.
-  * Turn off the metal halide lamp.
+  * Turn off the main switches ''SYSTEMS/PC'' and ''COMPONENTS''
-  * Turn off the microscope.
+  * Wait 5 min. for Ar laser cooldown
-  * Turn off the two main switches: **SYSTEM/PC** and **COMPONENTS**
+  * Turn off the ''MAIN SWITCH''.
-===== If you want to use the UV laser ablation system: =====
-  * Please contact the [[about|Bioimaging Facility]] (Ext: 47316). The ablation system requires specific training even for users that are already trained on the LSM 7 Live itself.
