Shut Down and clean up procedures

When you are done imaging, remove your sample from the microscope and place it on a kimwipe or other paper towel if it has oil or water. 

If you used an oil objective, please refer to the instructions of Dr. Dragavon to clean it.

Shut down the system according to the shut-down procedure taped on the wall:

      A. Save your beautiful images to your shared drive.
