+===== Microscope overview =====
+The Zeiss Cell Observer WF is a fully motorized inverted //widefield fluorescence microscope// ideal for live-cell imaging applications. It is equipped with a large cage incubator and a small stage incubator for temperature control and CO2 supply and with Definite Focus for hardware focus control during long time-lapse acquisitions. Using the ZEN 2 software you can control the motorized filters, shutters and stage to simultaneously set up multi-color time-lapse imaging experiments in multiple stage positions. Its sensitive cooled Axiocam 506m camera allows you to capture weak fluorescent signals and minimize photobleaching/photodamage in light sensitive samples. You can also perform Z-stack acquisition and use our [[http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/digitalimaging/deconvolution/deconvolutionhome.html|deconvolution]] server [[brainstorm|Brainstorm]] to significantly improve image resolution even in thick samples. If don't want to use deconvolution, check out one of the confocal systems such as the [[zeiss_lsm_710|Zeiss LSM 710]], the [[zeiss_lsm_880|Zeiss LSM 880]] or the [[3i_marianas_sdc|3i Marianas SDC]] spinning disk. If your personal computer cannot handle all the data you collected, check out the [[big_guy|Big Guy]] or [[colossus|Colossus]]. If you have FISH or other fixed fluorescence slides try the [[leica_dm5000b|Leica DM5000B]] instead.
+===== Booking Rules =====
+The Zeiss Cell Observer WF 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)
+  - Users must write their internal extension phone number in the booking Description field
