Dear all,

I realize that a topic of CCDs has been discussed here a few times.  While
pros and cons of CCD use were discussed, I am not sure if any recommendation
as to what to buy it terms hardware was put forward.  I am not sure,
furthermore, if any guidelines for "the masses" have been established in
terms of how to tackle setting up a CCD-based fluorescence detection system
that would replace photoprocessing.

So there we go:

I would like to set up a "departmental" microscopical "facility" devoted to
fluorescent immunolocalization.  I predict just a few (< 10) users.  We have
a Photomicroscope III that has been used for that purpose.  I would like to
equip this microscope with hardware/software such as to dispense with
photoprocessing.
Your advice shall be most welcome.

Cheers
Michal
