[3dem] microscope installation

[Ruben Diaz]

Hi David,

We have air-cooled chillers for our three microscopes (a Krios, a Titan
Halo and an Aquilos 2). So far, in three years we have had exactly zero
problems with the chillers (I know I am probably jinxing it and tomorrow we
might face the first problem). Then again, this is La Jolla, where we have
had a winter pretty much since October.

All the best!

Ruben.
