2026-06-16_405nm_led_drift_issueMaintenance action
Reason details:
Staff reported that the 405 nm LED source is suffering from drift. The drift is causing low power output at the sample plane and misalignment with the white light laser excitation path used for all other channels.

Action details:
Usage advisory recorded: avoid the system when samples require 405 nm excitation until the 405 nm LED source issue has been resolved. All other excitation wavelengths remain functional.

Additional notes
Issue message from staff: the 405 nm LED source is drifting, causing low power output on the sample plane and misalignment with the white light laser. Staff recommend avoiding the system if the sample requires 405 nm excitation; all other wavelengths are still functional.
