UVP cross-linker maintenance

Image
  UVP Hybridization  (link to the instrument) - ได้มีโอกาสเข้ามดูช่าง maintenance เลยถามเรื่องความปลอดภับของตัวกระจกที่ใช้ทำ cross-linker หน่อย - เลยให้ช่างใช้ probe วัดความเข้มของแสง UVC ทั้งข้างในและข้างนอกตามวีดีโอที่เห็น - ตัวเครื่องแบ่งออกเป็นหลายแบบ มีวัดแบบกว้าง และแบบ specific wavelength ของช่วง UV - Scaling หน้าเครื่องก็จะแตกต่างกันไป แล้วแต่ว่าจะดูละเอียดแค่ไหน ทั้งนี้ขึ้นอยู่กับค่าที่วัดได้จากตัวเครื่อง cross-linker -- - I had the opportunity to observe the maintenance technician and asked about the safety of the glass used in the cross-linker. - I had the technician use a probe to measure the intensity of UVC light both inside and outside, as seen in the video. - The UV meter is divided into several types, with measurements ranging from broad to specific wavelengths of the UV spectrum. - The scaling on the UV meter varies depending on the level of detail required, which is determined by the values measured from the cross-linker. -- How the technician measures the U...

Update on the microscope condition

We have just learnt from the Nikon technician that our fiber optic has been damaged. This causes a shadow background while visualizing the sample with a mercury lamp (attached herewith), not a bright field. Besides, all the lenses have been contaminated by the immersion oil. This means that there might be some spilled over while rotating the objective lens.   Please make sure to clean "all the objective lenses" properly after finishing your work.  Learn from my deposited video if you are not sure how to properly clean.  The 60X objective lens of the upright microscope does not work properly anymore and I decided not to replace it with a new one since it is extremely expensive.  I decided to switch the optic fiber between inverted and upright. Thus, the shadow will instead appear in the inverted microscope in the cell culture-micro room. We need to place an order for the new optic fiber and I do not know when it will be approved (cost perhaps  >...
