@brunopichler Yesterday I received an email from their UK distributor explaining this to me.

@pacificoptica And if you need help sourcing the rest of the parts and assembling the system, give me a shout. @COSYS_scopes can do it for you.

@AndrewAllan9 @jtimaging @GiedreAstra Is the beam reflecting off any dichroics or mirrors in the excitation path? How are these mounted? My first attempt to find the cause would be to make sure these dichroics/mirrors are not mounted under any stress that could cause them to bend slightly. Give this a go...

@ptrrupprecht @robmlees @OcanaSantero @aandr314 @brunopichler @hb_cell What happens if you remove the analogue control to the Pockel cell by disconnecting the BNC? You would need to either adjust the bias manually or use a signal generator to apply the necessary voltage to the Pockel cell in order to get enough laser in the sample.

Job alert for anyone looking to live in Vancouver and work with some cool equipment.

@brunopichler Rotate the scanner in the mount and then scan. Does this change anything? Sorry, clutching at straws here....

[Dale Elgar @COSYS_scopes]

@brunopichler Nope, this is a first for me. Can you 'correct' the line scan at 1020nm if you misalign the beam into the x-galvo? Although there shouldn't be, maybe there is some AOI weirdness happening there.

@dominicburrows_ @klagojohn @sciwithrach Problem didn't last long 😉

@paqio @BritishNeuro @ChrisWilms23 @Interneuron_Dev @sheltron30301 My mother used to live in the village a few years back.

[Dale Elgar @COSYS_scopes]

@paqio @ChrisWilms23 @Labrigger @brunopichler @robmlees @trose_neuro @MesoSpim Most definitely. In addition, I have a set of Allen keys with coloured plastic sleeves and had to shorten the length of the sleeve to reach certain screws. 😀

@PodgorskiLab @Labrigger @paqio @Thorlabs @trose_neuro And they made the cables needed.

[Dale Elgar @COSYS_scopes]

@PodgorskiLab @Labrigger @paqio @Thorlabs @trose_neuro Zaber have configured their drivers to run Thorlabs motors for me in the past. Worth asking them if they can drive the Dover Motion stages too.

[Dale Elgar @COSYS_scopes]

@paqio @Thorlabs @Labrigger @trose_neuro The Zaber stages work nicely. They can also provide passive /slave stages if you have a large top plate.

@trabranco @JoshuaTrachten2 @neurolabware @INSS_UK Thanks, @trabranco. It is great fun working with you and the rest of the neuroscience community.

[Dale Elgar @COSYS_scopes]

@sainsbury_tom Nice scope. Happy birthday!
