Maintenance Action
Reason Details:
Post-installation setup verification and acceptance testing after BC43 delivery.
Action Details:
Ensured correct setup and Fusion/Windows-related settings. Tested imaging workflow from sample-holder and incubation chamber setup/calibration through Montage, Z-Scan, Multichannel Transmitted Light, and Joystick operation using provided sample slides. Verified integrity of objectives and optical pathway. Completed setup and calibration of the Okolab incubation system. Measured laser output using calibrated laser slides: 405 nm = 18 mW, 488 nm = 12 mW, 561 nm = 13 mW, 638 nm = 16 mW.
Status After Fix:
IN_SERVICE

Additional Notes

Installation engineer completed commissioning checks and confirmed instrument readiness for routine operation.
