Hello everyone.
Our lab is about to purchse a confocal system.
We will be mostly using it for live cell neuronal imaging (structure =
timelapse). Also, 3-D recon. of life cell and of immunostained cells.
We narrowed it down to either a Olympus Fluoview FV300 or a Zeiss LSM 5 =
Pascal.
Both with comparable components.=20
1) First of all: Does anyone has any of the two systems? - Worked with =
them? Maybe even with both? - Can you recommend either? Can you help us =
finding a decision?
Your input (even the briefest) will be highly appreciated!!
2) Can you recommend any other system (Leica, Bio-Rad, Nikon) in this =
pricerange?
3) Another question: How does an MOTF compare to an AOTF =
performancewise?
Thank you very much for your input!!
Oliver
