Dear listers,   We have a Zeiss LSM510 confocal microscopy system at our core facility. And I got some problems while writing new configuration. Here is an example: Single track configuartion for FITC, I used to use HFT 405/488/543/633,  NFT 545, NFT 490 and BP505-550. It works fine.  (Screen shot: http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/mizhzmkm/Q-1A.jpg)   But when I try to change the primary dichroic beam splitter to HFT 488/594 and keep everything else the same, the systme shows "Pinhole PH3 is not adjusted". (Screen shot: http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/mizhzmkm/Q-1B.jpg)    Also if I change the NFT 545 to NFT 595, the system also shows "Pinhole PH3 is not adjusted" (Screen shot: http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/mizhzmkm/Q-1C.jpg) I am still be able to take the images regardless the error window.   So does anyone here have the same problem? What does "Pinhole PH3 is not adjusted" mean, any reason for this?   Any suggestion will be appreciated.   Thanks,   Yi
