Dear all,

Our 10yr-old Zeiss 510 has encountered more frequent down times for laser 405nm (and 543nm) recently. Most of the time the laser(s) will restore after restart the program and/or microscope, sometimes will work simply after switching between different configs. I am wondering if this is due the aging lasers (break soon) or other problems such as software bugs?

Any advice/comment is greatly appreciated!
