What is an appropriate method for disinfecting a microscope used for live cell imaging (or in a BSL2 facility)? 10% bleach is too strong, so what do people use? Thinking of core facility users (who can be poor at following directions), what is a relatively fool-proof way to decontaminate and not damage motorized stages, and other delicate parts?
If you have posted protocols, can you send the links? Do you have live cell imaging policies for your facility that you would be willing to share?
