Microscope property number | Microscope Type | Diagnosis |
---|---|---|
90871 | Axioscope A1 POL | Stage counterweights had to be cut down which was accomplished for all three specimen holder sets of that type on board |
90869 | Axioscope A1 POL | XY stage faulty (inner pulley system problem), Serco can’t fix this, needs to go back to Zeiss – tested 3 other stages, 2 out of 3 are broken and will be send to College Station to be forwarded to Zeiss |
91187 | Axio Imager A2 | - known issue with PCBA board, which has missing parts on order, - scope is set up for fluorescence, unsure why in that spot |
91188 | Axio Imager A2 (MBIO) | No issue reported. |
90229 | Axioplan POL | Bertrand lens is de-laminated, attachment not useful, so it was removed. |
90207 | Axioscope POL (Thin Section) | No issues reported. |
90257 | Axiophot | Stage couldn’t be moved far enough to focus on specimen, it was discovered that gear inside wasn’t lined up, Serco had to remove focus knob covers and align 15 O-rings back to where they are needed in order to move stage to correct positions. Recommendation from Serco – don’t tinker with inner workings of scopes if not absolutely necessary, send to Zeiss or have Zeiss rep service call. |
91060 | Stereoscope | Magnification knob doesn’t stop at 1x or 8x, no way to fix it as body is glued shut. Stored in Imaging Lab as fall back for high usage expeditions. |
90812 | Stereoscope | No issue reported. |
91105 | Stereoscope | No issue reported. |
90811 | Stereoscope | No issue reported. |
90812 | Stereoscope | No issue reported. |

ODP00584 | Old grey stereoscope (reserve in Imaging Lab) | No issue reported. |
Microscope cameras
The SPOT ideal cameras installed on all stereomicroscopes work well on the new generation PCs that were installed this tie-up, however the other SPOT cameras are not communicating properly over the fire wire connection. For now, the old PCs are back on these stations until we can purchase different cameras, or IT can find a solution to communicate with the camera. IT ordered different PC boards to test with the cameras. They might be delivered for 397T (unsure) or 397.
