This is a quick check list for user who is new the Morgagni microscope. Quite different from the CM12 or 420T interface, Morgagni 268 comes with a very nice computer control interface which is very similar to that of Tecnai series of microscopes. This ducomentation is aim to help you use this new interface to control the scope. You can also get pdf version of this document here.
For details of operating the scope and all other information, please refer to the hardcopy of original "Operation Manual" that came with the scope.
A bottom mount model of AMT CCD camera is installed on Morgagni 268. This is 1k X 1k camera with a nice software control. We no longer keep an camera in the chamber, but one can get a camera for CM12/420T to use it in Morgagni if you do want to take images on films. The documentation of operating this AMT CCD camera cabe found separately as "AMT-CCD-imaging".
A portable A/C unit is contacted in the room and controlled by both temperature and humidity. Don't be surprised if it suddenly make noise.
