 ===== Microscope overview =====
+{{  :confocal_vs_2photon.png?0x300}}
+A multi-photon, or 2-photon, microscope uses modules similar to those of a laser scanning confocal microscope: A laser source for sample excitation, a scanhead with galvo mirrors to scan the excitation beam, and photo-multiplier tubes to detect fluorescence signals. 2-photon imaging has advantages over confocal: the use of a near-infrared laser allows deeper penetration into tissues, the radiation is less energetic and potentially less phototoxic, and because the excitation effect is confined to the focal plane, de-scanning and pinholes are not necessary, so there are less light looses on the detection side.
+This Prairie Ultima system is integrated with a custom modified fixed stage ready for intra-vital imaging, and 2photon is ideal for studies in thick tissue slices, in-vivo, or imaging of small organisms.

+UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!
+===== System Turn On Procedures =====
+  * Check the cooler. The temperature should be 20 Cº. {{::img.png?100|}}
+  * Turn on the fluorescence lamp {{1_img.png?100|}}
+  * Switch the laser from "stand by" to "on" by turning the key clockwise (unit under the table)
+  * Make sure the workstation is ON
+  * Turn on the pre-amps for the detectors you will use (Ch2 and Ch3 pre-amp unit in shelf above monitor, and Ch1 and Ch4 below the keyboard. Note that any switching of the Ch1&2 pre-amps should be preceded by "override" for protetion).
+  * Ask staff to change the Ch4 for DODT (BF) detector or fluorescence/SHG
+===== System turn Off procedures =====
-==== Camera ====
+  * Transfer your data to the institutional server (data is deleted every 3 months)
+  * Clean up immersion objective(s)
+  * Remove all your samples and accessories and leave the working area ready for the next user
+If there is another user for this microscope in the __next hour__:
+  * Leave the fluorescent lamp and LASER "ON"
+  * Inform staff you are leaving the system "ON"
+Else:
+  * Set the LASER to "Standby" (LASER key to the left)
+  * Turn "OFF" all pre-amps (make sure to protect 1st for Ch1&2!
+  * Turn "OFF" the fluorescence lamp
+  * Turn "OFF" monitor, lights, and close the microscope curtains
+  * Make sure you turn "OFF" any life support unit used (heating, CO2, O2...)
