Jaan:
I have the oportunity to work several times in a IX81 and IX71 with a ZDC on them, for a 3, 4 and 5 days observations, the most important thing that you have to consider, or at least the most often situation observed from our side was:
1. Medium getting dry
2. Medium losing nutrients
3. Cells moving ont the x, y axis so they exit and entered the focused spot
All this was observed in different kinds of samples, as there are some cells moving little trough time. Apart from this, the focus steadiness was more than initially expected.
Hope it helps
