Turn on only the laser(s) you need to excite the fluorophores in your sample.
To turn on the Argon laser, click standby to warm it up. After the initial warm-up period, the on button
will appear allowing the laser to be fully activated. Set the output intensity to an appropriate level - 40%
is a good starting point.
To turn on any of the other lasers, simply click the appropriate "On" buttons - no warm-up is required
for ignition.
We try to minimize the number of times a laser is turned on or off - if somebody will use the laser within
2 hours leave it on (Argon laser in standby). Check the reservation schedule to see the laser usage
scheduled before and after your session. Turn off any lasers you don't need that may have been left on
for you by the previous user, as long as anyone scheduled after you won't use them within 2 hours of
your imaging session.

A filter configuration for the particular fluorophores you are using can be loaded via the "Configuration
Control" window. Open it by selecting the Acquire>Config submenu.
