[FILM-Users 00815] Samples left on CF6 and oil on 10X
by Gaboriau, David C A 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Dear Users and CF6 Users in particular, I found two slides left on CF6, one next to the keyboard, and one with liquid left on the stage of the microscope itself, see attached pictures. Please make sure you take all your samples with you when you finish your session. If you need to discard your slides, there is a sharps bin in the room. I also saw some damage to the 10X objective, probably caused when inserting the sample holder in the stage. Please be careful not to hit the objective when putting on the stage insert. Finally, the 10X objective was covered in immersion oil. Please only use oil on immersion objectives, and if you add some onto an air objective by mistake, let us know straight away so we can clean it. If you are not sure, please ask us! Thank you for your co-operation, All the best, David David Gaboriau, PhD FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy High-Content Microscopy Specialist Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 408 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ, UK Phone: +44 (0)2075 949 793 Email: d.gaboriau(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:d.gaboriau@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility Page: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/d.gaboriau

[FILM-Users 00813] Scientific Community Image Forum
by Gaboriau, David C A 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Dear Users, The new Scientific Community Image Forum is online at https://forum.image.sc "This forum's focus is software-oriented aspects of scientific imaging, particularly (but not limited to) image analysis, processing, acquisition, storage, and management of digital scientific images. The primary objective is to foster independent learning 4<https://forum.image.sc/guidelines#independent-learning> for everyone in the community." "Several open source software projects have pledged to use this forum as their recommended discussion channel; see the front page 10<https://forum.image.sc/>. Discussion of any software packages in the imaging ecosystem is equally welcome-the goal here is inclusivity. Our mission 2<https://forum.image.sc/faq#mission> is for people to be able to ask "how do I do X?" without prior knowledge of these various software programs. See the Guidelines 2<https://forum.image.sc/guidelines> for further information." Open-source platforms that came together for this forum include FIJI, Icy, CellProfiler, ImageJ, Cytomine, Ilastik, OpenSPIM, BoneJ and others. This is a great resource to ask questions and learn about bioimage analysis.
