[Histonet] vibrations

[Rene J Buesa]

Photomicrography could be affected at high resolution (immersion oil objectives) but probably could be eliminated if the microscope table is isolated from the floor with some vibration damping device.René

 With experience and certification in both, I think that problems from ambient vibrations are much less severe in Histology than EM.  There are special vibration dampening worktables, often used for EM, that would eliminate the problem for cutting stations, or any other sensitive equipment, and still allow you to use the space.  I hope this helps.  Terri

Happy Monday!
We are moving to a new space and part of our area is above the laundry - there is some vibration from there.  Does anyone have any experience with this and could you please share how you accommodated this?  Special flooring, pads, etc.
Thank you much!

Refuse the space and ask to be moved somewhere else.
Years ago our EM scopes were on the fourth floor and lines in photos taken could be seen from the vibration from people simply walking down the halls.
Finally moved the scopes to the basement on a section of concrete cut out completely separate from the rest of the building.?Paula Keene Pierce, BS, HTL(ASCP)HTPresidentExcalibur Pathology, Inc.5830 N Blue Lake DriveNorman, OK 73069PH 405-759-3953FAX 405-759-7513www.excaliburpathology.com
