Hello List,
We are going to move to new research building with all
current microscopy equipment. Few new microscopes (
confocal, 2-photon and STED-superresolution)
will be installed as well. I ordered all the walls painted
matte black. I hope it makes a lot of difference . You
already can notice that when making a photo.
We installed red overhead light as an selectable option.
Taking the occasion of the thread I would like to ask
about other important issues to follow up before we
move. Manufacturers of microscopes suggest to check
the room for vibration, conditioning airflow, dust-free,
clean power. Any feedback/advise is highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Arvydas

Hello All,
We are about to renovate the room for two-photon microscopy and I wonder what suggestions you might have about reducing light pollution that affects NDDs. As one of the measures, we are planning to paint walls and ceiling in black. What about "small" things like aluminum electrical channels, wall shelves, air vents? Have they also to be painted in dark colors or that would be an overkill? I would appreciate if you share your solutions.
