Hi Guy,
There have been a couple of nice papers on OPT from Enrico Coen's lab and others since then - looking at plant tissues - e.g. Truernit et al., 2008 The Plant Cell 20:1494-1503. A nice technique.
cheers,

Lucie,
Your post is a bit hard to follow. Can you first tell us
what OPT is? I thought I was familiar with most of the acronyms, but
don't know this one. Secondly, if a technology has been licensed this
presumably means that somebody is manufacturing it, so why is there a
problem?

Dear all!
I am writing to this forum, since we are in a bit unusual situation. Our
group is very much interested in 3D microscopy and we were successful to
get funds from the Czech Academy of Sciences to purchase a 3D
microscope. We turned our attention to an OPT scanner produced in
Edinburgh byMRC Technology, due to its commercial availability. However,
OPT technology has been licensed and the production of the scanner was
stopped. Thus, we have funds for a microscope and no 3D machine is
available.
Please, can you help us to solve the problem? I would appreciate any
useful information if anybody has, e.g. a second-hand OPT machine, or
does something similar and has at least a functional prototype to be
sold, etc. Whatever meaningful information will be of interest for us!
Thank you for your help and reply in advance!
With best regards,
Martin
