Erik,
You cannot in any circumstances work with
multi-photon scopes with the light on. Sure, 3 confocal
or widefield scopes in one room can work with no curtains
(actually we have 5) with local control of lights, but
NOT multiphoton scopes.

Subject: Re: Multi-user Imaging room plans?
Just some tips:
On each microscope we have a Oko-lab incubator with black panels (this Italian company calls the "obscuring panels"; these incubators are very stable and dedicated for the research environment). So, no curtains in our microscopy rooms (3 mics per room). And we can work with the light on!!
We will move to a new building this year. Between two microscope rooms we will have a small extra room where we will put all the equipment that produces heat and/or noise. Long fibers between the microscopes and laser room. This laser room will be temperature controled (some extra cooling units). So, no warm, noisy, dark room with dusty curtains! Let the sunshine in!
Good luck, Erik Manders
