Hello,

We are looking to purchase a new microscope for live cell imaging and I 
was hoping to get some feedback regarding the general advantages and 
disadvantages of the different options.  Currently, we can choose 
between a confocal such (as the zeiss meta), a spinning disk or a 
two-photon.  One the main concerns against purchasing a confocal is that 
many of the researchers would like use UV light, but are concerned about 
the cost of purchasing and maintaining a UV laser.  Comments regarding 
the most cost-effective scope and on the advantages / disadvantages of a 
UV laser would be appreciated.

thank you!
