[FILM-Users 01156] Reminder: Proper Use of the Microscopy Equipment
by Nechyporuk-Zloy, Volodymyr 13 Jun '24

13 Jun '24

Dear Colleagues, We have noticed an issue with oil contamination on the objectives of our systems, which hinders normal usage. The FILM staff is currently addressing this by cleaning the affected objectives using stereo microscopes and established procedures. Please note that this cleaning process may take between 1-2 hours to complete thoroughly. Each morning, I endeavor to check the systems; however, the distance between our buildings makes it challenging to simultaneously monitor the microscopes in both the SAF and ICTEM buildings. This situation underscores the importance of each user's responsibility to maintain and respect our shared equipment. To further enhance our workflow and ensure compliance, we will implement a charge for the cleaning services in cases where users leave objectives contaminated. This policy will be enforced going forward to prevent such issues. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your cooperation in maintaining the standards of our facility. Best regards, Volodymyr Dr. Volodymyr Nechyporuk-Zloy (FILM Facility Manager) Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus London SW7 2AZ, UK Mobile: (+44) 7526275617 Twitter: @vnzloy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyr-nechyporuk-zloy/ Company Web: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscop…

Dear Colleagues, In FILM, we are continually working to expand our imaging technological portfolio. >From the 27th of June to the 3rd of July, we will be hosting the ZEISS Lightsheet 7 imaging system<https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en/products/light-microscopes/light-sheet-…> for demonstration purposes in the SAF Building. A small Sample Preparation Guide is available here<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LcrIZpcx0o>. We have several 3-hour slots available for demonstrations. If you are interested in participating, please let me know so we can allocate a time slot for you.

[FILM-Users 01154] Cooperation and Care in Using Imaging Facility Equipment
by Nechyporuk-Zloy, Volodymyr 10 Jun '24

10 Jun '24

Dear Colleagues, We are very thankful for your continued usage of our imaging facility and the unwavering support you provide to our staff. Our goal is to work with you in full unity and mutual understanding to maintain a productive and efficient environment. However, I would like to remind everyone of the importance of cooperation with our staff and careful handling of our equipment. Recently, I mentioned the need to be cautious with our stage inserts, as two of them were damaged in a similar manner. The total cost for replacement is £2,220, equivalent to the price of a good laptop. This expense will be covered by our facility budget, which strains our resources. Additionally, please exercise care with the objectives. Our staff consistently provides guidance on proper handling, and we ask that you follow these instructions diligently. Thank you in advance for your attention and cooperation. Best regards, Volodymyr Dr. Volodymyr Nechyporuk-Zloy (FILM Facility Manager) Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus London SW7 2AZ, UK Mobile: (+44) 7526275617 Twitter: @vnzloy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyr-nechyporuk-zloy/ Company Web: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscop…
