Thanks. The issue isn't that the turbo shuts off, it is that it will not restart once the water is flowing again.</div>

<div dir="auto">#2 is a normal behaviour. TMPs generate a lot of heat and need cooling. Some will have a fan attached, others will have water cooling. The latter are used by TFS (I suppose) to reduce noise and possibly vibration. So if you shut the water to
your microscope, you are supposed to switch off turbos otherwise they'll overheat</div>

We continue to have two annoying problems with our Arctica, and I'd like to know whether this is just our microscope or if other have the same problems...</div>

<li style="list-style-type:"1. ""><span>The minor issue is that the instrument seems to often forget the position of the objective aperture. The UI reports that the aperture status is "unknown" and multiple things will not happen when this occurs. We can
sometimes (but not always) reset this by telling the instrument to insert the aperture and then to remove it. Our service engineer tells us that the solution is to do this insert/retract step, but I am wondering whether this really means that something in
our aperture hardware/software is not working properly. Any experiences that others have would be appreciated.</span></li><li style="list-style-type:"2. ""><span>The much more major issue involves what happens when there is an interruption to the chilled water flow. On our instrument, the optics board immediately overheats and the camera chillers follow that shortly. Those are
minor issues that can be easily fixed regardless of how long the chilled water is off. However, if the chilled water is off for "long enough," the turbo pump in the autoloader shuts off and cannot/will not restart. This in turn means that the dewars cannot
refill, and that the autoloader warms up. It also means that the cassette and any grids in the instrument will warm up because the cassette cannot be removed - without the TMP, the vacuum system can't work properly, and a grid can neither be taken off the
stage, nor can the entire cassette be unloaded. This problem with the TMP seems like it is either a serious design flaw in the instrument (if this is what others experience) or that something is fundamentally wrong with our instrument/turbo. And in case
anyone is wondering, by the time we know that the chilled water will be out for long enough to worry about samples in the microscope, the turbo has quit and it's impossible to salvage the grids.</span>
