For the time being, when launching the SP2 acquisition software, please select the company profile (rather than the personal profile) when prompted.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">2. <B>M floor DV3</B> - the camera has developed a serious fault. This system is unusable until further notice. The LMF DV3, LMF spectris and M floor RT can be used for fixed cells instead. Please check with me if you have not used these microscopes before.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">3. <B>M floor spectris</B> - the workstation has developed a serious fault. This system is unusable until further notice. In the meantime, the 2nd floor spectris can be used for live cell imaging while we wait for replacement parts. DO NOT use this microscope for fixed cell work.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">4. If any of you suspect that you have left <B>data on the M floor spectris or DV3</B>, please let me know and I will try to recover it for you. Please consider this a reminder of how important it is to back up your data after EVERY session. Aside from the fact it disadvantages other users, there will come a day when you lose valuable data due to an unavoidable system failure.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">5. The <B>workstations in 1.05G</B> are filling up again. Please check that you have not left data on the local hard drives before it is deleted on Monday morning.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks!</DIV><DIV>Sam</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></BODY></HTML>
