[Histonet] setting up old fluorescent microscope

[cbass <@t> bidmc.harvard.edu]

Hey Guys,

I've inherited an old fluorescent microscope that I'd like to get working.  I believe it is an Zeiss axioplan 2.  I don't know much about it other than that.  I figured I'd just plug everything in to see if it powers up first.  Do you have any recommendations for powering a microscope that has been off for several years?  Do I have to worry about blowing anything up!?!

Thanks,

Caroline
