2012-02-10 (Zeiss LSM 510-meta #1): Zeiss Meta #1 offline: faulty computer and condenser arm

Meta #1 will continue to be offline. The service engineer will return on Tuesday, February 14 to continue his work from today. Once the computer is working again (or replaced), he can replace the condenser arm. We believe viruses from USB storage devices are causing the computer to crash. Until we have another solution, do not use USB storage devices at the microscope stations. Please let us know if you have any questions. We apologize for the inconvenience.

2011-12-31: Server/TempStorage Upgrade

Over the holiday break, we've started transitioning to a new server, which is much faster and has more space. During the transition, both servers will be accessible, but the old server will not be accepting new data (deleting allowed). All of your old data should have been copied to the new server. Please use the new server to save any new data.

With the larger space, both 'Temporary Storage' and 'Temporary Storage 2' can reside on the same hard disk system, and are now subdirectories of 'TempShares'. Feel free to consolidate across the two directories. As before, we can only guarantee 4 month for files before we will erase them, should we need to recover the space.

2011-12-29 (Zeiss LSM 510-meta #2): Zeiss Meta 2 Now Available For Use

The Zeiss Meta 2 is now open to all users. The Zeiss service engineer was here yesterday to diagnose our computer problem. The computer is now working but please do NOT turn off the computer. Please turn off the lasers and mercury lamp as normal, just not the computer. Logging off of the user account is allowed. Please refrain from browsing the internet. E-mail microscopy@jhmi.edu if you have any questions or need more information, or to report a problem. Thank you for your patience during this time and we apologize for any inconvenience.

2011-12-22 (Zeiss LSM 510-meta #2): Zeiss Meta 2 Not Available

Zeiss Meta 2 is not available for use. The computer is not operable. A service call will be placed with Zeiss as soon as possible. Please contact any member of the staff if you have any questions or need more information.
