Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I add and clean immersion on and off objectives correctly?
Proper Use of Objective Immersion Oil
Determining if you’ve used the right amount of oil
How to fix fliped images in the tile scan?
If you are doing “spiral” in the LAS X navigator and the image is flipped, you need to stop the imaging and go to the “image” tab on the left and click on “open camera preferences”.
In the newly opened tab, find “camera flip” and unclick “horizontal” and “vertical”.
You can also see how to do that in the following video on 3:56 minutes: Adjusting camera flip.
Which objectives are installed in this system?
You can find the list at the end of this page, file “Objectivefinder WideField.pdf“.
How do I choose the right excitation and emission settings for my fluorophore?
Find your fluorophore on FPbase. Based on the excitation and emission data, chose the closest filter set in the software.
How do I save and access my data?
Save the data in:
→ open the driver data (D :) “Data_Bioimg”
→ open folder with your Weizmann user name
→ open a new folder with the date (crucial)
→ save the data (characters like ~!@#$%^&*()`;’:<>,/?[]{} are not allowed, and files including them are not copied)
Once you are done, the computer will synchronize the correctly saved data to the “bioimg” server.
To see the data on your PC, follow the instructions in this link: BioImg Storage Server system.
**When starting to work with the Bioimaging system for the first time, please make sure you have a UNIX ID added to your WIS ID (you can check it with your unit administrator)
