Dear List,
 
        I am relaying on questions of a colleague deciding on which
confocal to buy with the usual money limitations:
 
"Have you any idea how "good" the following resolution parameters are ?
        lateral resolution of 220 nm
        axial resolution of 450 nm
                 .... tested with an Olympus 60X 1.4 NA oil immersion objective.
Have you heard anything on the grapevine about Optiscan systems ?
What current systems would people recommend ?"
