Dear Jens,

With behind the scanhead you mean no light at the objective or already at an earlier stage?

Listers,

following the installation of a new air condition, we are not succeeding to get any light after the scanhead of our Olympus FluoView1000 CLSM. End of fiber, there is plenty of light. Behind the scanhead, no light arrives. We work with an inverted IX 81 microscope.

Unfortunately the service situation in Brazil is very poor, so if there were any suggestions how to proceed, I would rather try to check the alignment myself.

Anyone having experience with the FluoView1000 scanhead?

Thank you, Jens
