Hi,
We are considering the purchase of a deconvolution/reconstruction
microscope for a mulituser facility. The users have a variety of needs, but
common themes are intracellular signaling in live cells, time lapse studies
of growing axons and and embryos, calcium and chloride imaging and the
ablity to combine electrophysiological measurements with intracellular
imaging. We are specifically considering the DeltaVision system from
Applied Precision. We'd appreciate any input considering the ease of use
and management of this system or similar ones, and discussion of the
relative merits of deconvolution/reconstruction microscopy vs laser
confocal microscopy for our needs.
Sincerely,
Cindy Forehand
