Instrument use

General Information

If you would like to start using the OPT, please go to our Fees and user information pages for instructions for new users. When you receive your user training, you will be automatically added to the OPT scanner users mailing list. Please read those e-mails to know what is going on!

If you need fluorescence illumination and it is not on, first check in the paper calendar at what time it was turned off - remember that there has to be at least 30 min. gap between switching on and off the mercury lamp.
