[lm-announce] LMF systems status

[Sam Swift]

Dear All,

Please read the following for an update on the status of the LMF  
microscopes -

1.  Leica SP2 - some of the initialisation files have become  
corrupted following the powercut at the weekend.  For the time being,  
when launching the SP2 acquisition software, please select the  
company profile (rather than the personal profile) when prompted.

2.  M floor DV3 - 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.

3.  M floor spectris - 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.

4.  If any of you suspect that you have left data on the M floor  
spectris or DV3, 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.

5.  The workstations in 1.05G are filling up again.  Please check  
that you have not left data on the local hard drives before it is  
deleted on Monday morning.


Thanks!
Sam
