- Click on the Configuration tab.
- Click the Laser Config button.
- Turn on the lasers and drag the STED 592, STED 660 and STED 775 nm sliders up to 100%. Note that the White Light Laser (WLL) should automatically be at 70%. You don't need the 405 Diode on unless you will be imaging DAPI, Hoechst or other blue dyes.
STED settings
STED is only possible using the specially optically corrected 100x HC PL APO CS2 oil lens, so you must first rotate this into position in the nose piece by selecting it in the drop-down menu in the UI.
After the 100x lens is in position you can click the Activate STED button in the top right of the left control screen.

The Activate STED button will be greyed out until you select the 100x lens. |
